I remember reading somewhere that Ford trucks had 1350 CVs in them, but can't remember what years, models, rating, etc. Any other truck that would have one??

try 99-03 superduty (f250, f350) 4x4's, I know they have the 1350 cv's.
The Ford F250/350s 99-up have the 1350 CV front shafts that are pretty long,bought this one off ebay for just under a hundred.It measures about 55" flange to center of joint,will make a great rear Blazer shaft shortened and balanced slip end hooked to a 14bolt.

Good find and price.
Hmm, will have to remember that...Thanks!!
oops I'm about a dip **** guess I should have read a bit better CV shaftyellowK20 said:

I am pretty sure that is what Jess uses for his 1-ton CVs, so yes they will bolt to his drive flanges.

You can use a 30/32 spline flat flange 205 yoke by machining the pilot OD down some,the Spicer 1350 CVs come with a couple different size pilot bores.
The factory Ford ones have the larger bore pilots,I micd mine and came up with 2.672 but dont quote me on that # because I didnt clean it up real well before measuring.
I have a Hi Angle flange/e-brake kit and the pilot is 2" so I would say they use the smaller pilot flange mostly.
To use the Ford shaft on the rear of a 205 just take a flange yoke from a 208/241 front output and machine the pilot,drill out the threads and change the seal size.
This will work on the front to if you have a 32spline front output in your 205,I have done this several times and have the correct seal #s
This picture shows a converted yoke.......I think
hmm...interesting few questions...MEK5 said:
For the rear...
If the ford pilot is bigger than why the need to machince the one on the flange..or am i misunderstanding something?
Why the need to drill the threads out of the yoke? is the cv threaded?
For the front...
If your 205 already has a flange would that just take the same machining of the pilot?
Now by pilot i assume you mean the ring on the flange that centers the shaft?
Thanks alot!

The pilot on the GM factory CV flange is just under a 1/2" larger than the Ford 1350 CV flange.Out of the 2 Spicer 1350 CV flanges avaliable the Ford factory shaft has the bigger one but still smaller than a GM flange yoke has
The 1350 flange is threaded,that is why you would drill the threads out of the 32spline yoke if you were using it on the rear.
In the front you could drill the threads out of the CV flange instead of the yoke.
Yes,pilot is the centering ring

cool thanks alot...i got a buddy that works at a machine shop so that should help alot. one last question, if you have a 205 w/ a flange already you dont need a 208/241 flange correct, i can just machine the one i have?

No way that you can retube it for the front?? I don't really have the $500 for a 1350 CV shaft for the front of my truck. Once I get the lift/trans/t-case stuff figured out, I dont think I will need a CV in the rear. I will have to get some pics, but my buddy is running a 95 Ram RCSB with HP60/Sterling combo, IIRC 15" of lift on 44s with a stock rear shaft. Since I will be close to half that lift, I should be OK.
i think im going to buy one, itll be ncie to have once i gte my doubler finished
i just picked up a brand new f250 shaft for $140 shipped
