U-Joint Terminology

[V8COOPMAN]

Surely, someone in this diverse crowd of automotive know-it-alls must understand the 'ins and outs' of the U-Joint world...1310 Series, 1350 Series, Spicer.....and on and on. Well, that stuff is all 'Greek' to me. With my shortcomings understood, is there anyone that can technically and definitively describe the U-joint combination in the picture? I NEED "sure stuff"....NO guesses! What you see facing you is a 6-spline that accepts the front of an old Ford ('28-'48) drive shaft. The FRONT half of the joint in this picture is fitted to a 27-spline Chevy output shaft. MORE SPECIFICALLY, I would be interested in a complete U-Joint comprising the aforementioned 6-spline Ford rear half, with the forward facing half to fit a 23-spline '82-'86 Jeep CJ 4X4 output shaft. The second picture shows the detail of the 23-spline required for the Jeep shaft. As can be seen, this joint needs to be rather compact so as to fit inside a Ford torque tube bell/clamshell enclosure. Many thanks, guys! DD
