Re: [Chrysler300] ball and trunnion interchange



Thanks for the replies so far. This is the front U-joint for basically any Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, or DeSoto, 1957-62 WITH V-8 engine and automatic trans. My '63 shop manual shows a ball and trunnion, so probably the same. Don't have anything on '64, but I'm thinking they went away from this style joint when they went away from the drum parking brake. There may be some other truck and oddball applications. Dave's right about the 1450 number for the boot.

BTW, I am replacing the entire joint. I only asked about the housing or "body" because everything else seems to be available.

Thanks,
Andy

                  I'm on the road and don't have any parts books to reference, but I seem to 

recall that the boot part number is a 1450 series and dates back to at least 

'57 indicating to me that the same joint fits '57 and up possibly to '64 for 

"some" big 'C' bodies.



If this subject is still going when I'm get home I'll be glad to do a little 

digging into the 'ol books and come up with an answer.
