If you could find someone with an older Hollanders interchange manual it may open up more possibilities.

Good used parts have a very low inventory and usually aren't listed online.
Contacting the most promising sellers directly with your request may have better results.

If there is a shop near you that makes up driveshafts, he may be of some help.. That yoke was last used in a Ford in 56, so finding a new one is almost impossible. Used one is probably your only choice.

Assuming it’s for a standard shift car, we have some of them in our NOS parts. They don’t include the universal joint of course, but we also stock those. Part number is B5A-4841 for the slip yoke.

If you can't find one locally or Mac Van Pelt doesn't have the one you need you could try Bill Thomas Enterprises in San Bernardino, CA. He is all things rear end related. He did the re-gearing on a Ford 8 inch from a Maverick I'm putting in my '54 Ranch Wagon. He is a talker but worth a call or email IMO.
909-888-7049 www.billthomasenterprises.com I definitely recommend him for rear end work but not sure if he has the yoke you need. If he does and won't ship it PM me and I'll pick it up and ship it to you. If you send an email he will respond but it might take a couple of days. His shop phone is connected to his cell so that might be the best way to contact him.


One more suggestion: you might list at least your general location in your profile. That way someone in your neck of the woods might be able to offer assistance down the road.

Mac seems to be thinking of the front yoke, not the rear - mentioned slip yoke

I missed the “rear end” part of his request, so I was mistaken in suggesting we could have the part. We don’t have the rear driveshaft yoke in any case.
