The 52/53 sedan delivery & wagon use the AB-4602-C drive shaft and this is how it is listed in the parts book "58 3/8" long - has Red paint band" What they are measuring from is not listed. The front knuckle & plug is the same for all Ford cars from 1949 thru 1953 and it is a Mercury part number 1M-4841. This is the replacement part for those made before 1951.
Some GM drive shaft knuckles (yokes) will fit the Ford spline.

Thanks..There is a flange at the differential. So, I guess the winged/flanged u-joint is the one I need. Maybe the flanged part was just missing/broken off my old u-joint. The driveshaft wasn't installed, it was just inside the car. I will take some measurements and see if it matches the u-joint I am looking at. Thanks again.
