Thinking of ditching the strap style yoke and getting a u-bolt style. My straps are mangled probably from some horrible axle wrap when my old rear springs bent. I see NWF sells them but the shipping from Canada usually kills the deal. Best price I found so far was 82 shipped.

Another option I may do to avoid the proper yoke installation is to drill out the threads, grind the back side, and convert it to u-bolts.

What size?

I have a brand new 1410 U-bolt yoke for a GM 10.5" 14BFF lying around... :whistle:
I was thinking of staying with 1350. Just had new 1350 joints installed in my shafts too. Wasn't sure if 1410 conversion u-joint throws off the balance of the new balanced shaft or not.

See they have forged too. Thanks!

If your yoke is in good shape and you're not changing the size, this sounds like a good option.
 
Keep in mind that the spacing is different between straps and u-bolts, the bolts are further apart.
Probably be better to take the entire pinion carrier out and set the bearing pre-load correctly with a new yoke.
 
Mark williams is local, forgot about that...
