RE: [Chrysler300] ball and trunnion interchange

["Richard Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

My '55-'58 parts book shows seven different universal joint bodies for 55-58
MoPars.  This suggests later universal joint bodies may be different for
different brands and models.  The book also shows different universal joint
dust cover packages for 300's and New Yorkers of that period.  1450448 is
for Windsors, New Yorkers, some DeSotos and Plymouths.  This indicates the
boots for 300's may be different in '63.  There is some indication the
difference is in the diameter of the solid shaft portion at the front end of
the driveshaft and the boot must fit this element precisely to hold grease.

I hope someone with a later parts manual can get you the proper interchange
list for your needed part(s).

C-300'ly,
Rich Barber

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.
