Flanges or yokes?

[85 Jimmy]

I'm slowly gathering my parts to do up a 203/205 doubler behind a 700r4. I know it'll be a long setup, so I'm pushing the rear axle 2-3" back.
What's better, running flanges on both t-case outputs and axle inputs or running 1410 yokes all around and why?

 

[ezoliver]

Flanges on t-case output to a CV shaft is the most common application for flanges. Pinion flanges are cool and offer good protection of the joint but I am not sure they are worth the money... Typically 1350 CV and 1410 joint at the axle with a pinion guard is all you will need. Of course depending on power, tire size, gearing, and driver.

I run all 1410's on my 203/205 doubler with a 14 bolt / D60.

Pros:
brute strength
highest running angles of all single u-joints ( 37°)
1 u-joint for all 4 ends of my driveshafts


Cons:
need to have a 32 spline front output shaft and yoke
for the 205 (from a Ford 205 )

Well, I guess I'll run flanges on the tcase and 1410 on the axles. My 205 is a syncro version and I don't want to buy a ford case to swap out the guts on the front output side.

I like the flange on the case 1410 yokes on the axles .....one reason not mentioned is if (most likely when) you have to replace, remove whatever, a driveshaft on the trail, 4 larger bolts on a flange that are visible are a lot easier then some little tiny nuts and washers on the back side of a yoke

I like flanges everywhere. They do offer some u joint protection. I tend to have to replace yokes every couple of years. Although it has only been recently with thick walled drive shafts

I'm running the same setup. You can find front ford 205 outputs for fairly cheap. Think I bought one from a member on here for like $40.

The flange is more durable because there are no centering ears to wear out and no straps to stretch. On the pinion they do reduce the ground clearance a bit.

I have a synchro 205, so I'd have to swap all my internals on the front output side to run the ford 32 spline output.

Ok well in that case, High Angle Driveline just released 34 spline outputs for the 205 with 1480 flanges. That should solve your problem
