Double cardan CV

[trevmountain]

In the process of bolting up my new gear vendors I am going to have some steep angles. I am already quite steep with a 7 inch lift I am running now and then to add on top of that I am cutting about 14 inches off my shaft for the Gear Vendor's. Obviously I am going to have some steep angles and I plan to use a CV joint.

I picked up an NP 205 fixed yoke transfer case the other day for parts and bolted on it was a one of these double cardan's. It's right now bolted up for the front driveline. I am wondering first of all what model of CV this is. Is it the 1350? Could it be used for my rear drive shaft. These things are spendy so just wondering if I can use this guy.

Thanks

not 1350 joint factory sorry.

stock gm front output 205 = early 10 spline. then flanged like you have = 30 spline.

rear on 205 is 32 spline slip or fixed yoke.

look at h.a.d for drive shafts that work. http://www.highangledriveline.com/ and he has flanges also.

or if you dont mind hunting around and modifying newer 99-up ford 3/4 and 1 ton rear used 1350 cv driveline and flat flange mounting,.

Isn't it still a double cardan style? Is this what was stock on all front output's for chevy 205's. My 205 front output only has single joint standard looking joints.

I am aware of HAD. That was who I planned on helping me get my shaft. Thanks for the tips

I believe all flange style front outputs were s44 (similar to a 1330). I am not sure that they ever came on 205s, I think they were only on 208s and 241s after 77 or something.

Pretty sure there were no GM 1350 double cardans ever.

I used some Dodge 1 ton cv's that are 1350 and bolted up to my 241. I think from around 99-05. Just had them re tubed.

That is a double cardan joint and yes you could use it for the rear but you'll need to buy the proper flange for the t-case and then you will also need to have a shaft made with a slip at the diff end.

Might actually make more sense to use it on my front shaft and get the 1350 for the rear from High Angle.

Smarter move I think
