I had a custom driveshaft built for Dog Spit and when I went to install it, the u-joint was the wrong size for the 9" yoke(my fault for giving the wrong bit of info). The driveshaft was a 1310 u-joint size and the 9" is a 1330 large cap size. This appears to be an unusual combination and calls for a conversion u-joint. I couldn't find any info on line and sometimes it's impossible to get parts departments to find anything for you if you don't have the VIN. Well, today I had to go to Mississauga and stumbled upon a new driveline shop. I took my driveshaft in and after about 3/4 of an hour measuring and checking boxes, they came up with the solution. These guys were so friendly and helpful, I have to recommend them to anyone thinking of getting a driveshaft built, balanced, repaired or modified. It is Pat's Driveline located at 7337 Pacific Circle just off Tomken in Mississauga. This is new well equipped shop. It also appears there are several sister companies next door that deal in heavy equipment drivelines and rearends of all kinds.
I had the same problem, but the NAPA store in Port Perry took the time & effort & came up with the same U'joint that Don lists & is a common conv. joint!!! You just have to find the 'right' auto suppy store that has an interest in this stuff!!!!

The 1310 refers to length from outside cap to outside cap of 3.219" and the 1330 is 3.625". The 1350 has a cap size of 1.187 and cap to cap length of 3.625.
