Expert Posts: 4034 Location: Connecticut | Hey Everyone - I'm looking for a 1957-60 and maybe later, driveshaft 'body' housing for the front U-joint (ball and trunnion). Part no. 1739920. This is the 4" diameter housing for torqueflite transmissions. Also need the kit (balls, needle bearings, boot, etc). Thanks, Ron | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 425 Location: Ohio | Have some used driveshafts posted in the "Parts For Sale" forum. Here is the link to post: http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=71995&... Both are still available. Open to offers. Let me know if interested.

Expert Posts: 4034 Location: Connecticut | Negative on that. I need a NOS or NORS 'body' housing. No use for another driveshaft. Ron | ||

Extreme Veteran Posts: 403 Location: California | There’s someone on eBay selling an NOS one with that part number. Here’s the item number for it. 293375899131 | ||

Expert Posts: 4034 Location: Connecticut | Ack ! 165 (150 + shipping) is just too much for something that should be half that. This was used 1957 thru the early 60s. So there should be some out there at a reasonable price. Ron | ||

Expert Posts: 3887 Location: Northen Virginia | Negative on that Ron, that is always the price on those. I have been looking for these since I found that my Imperial came with it. Manage to purchased 3-4 for a reasonable price since 2008. | ||

There is no way that I will pay that. I'm certain that I will find one at a reasonable price. Ron | ||

Ron There was a NOS (not repro) Kit for the 57+ V8s (all parts including hsg!) a couple of months ago, for BIN around 50 USD. I do not need one but thought about buying it anyway. I didn't and surprisingly it lasted quite a while on Ebay until it sold. | ||

Board Moderator & Exner Expert 10K+ Posts: 13042 Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | I bought a NOS MoPar # 2298 941 full kit, all included for $350 some weeks ago. My original ball & trunnion finally had too much vibrations after 60 years of duty,and 165000 miles. Hard to find that quality today | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7385 Location: northern germany | Ron, a good tight used one wouldn't deter me. If treated properly, they almost last forever. I'm really stressing mine (OE) for 30 years and it is still like new after 60+ years and over 330K miles, no vibration or noises. Use that clear synthetic Teflon "Super Lube" when you service it and it will outlive you. | ||

Use that clear synthetic Teflon "Super Lube" when you service it and it will outlive you. That's great that yours is still good. Mine had wear and scoring. And I was getting vibration when first accelerating. So it needed to be replaced. I located a NORS one as well as the kit. Waiting them to arrive so I can confirm that they are correct. Price was 85, including shipping. Kit was 80 with shipping. Ron | ||
