call summit racing. they can set you up.

sometimes napa has them, but sometimes you know more than the counter guy at a napa store. i asked them for help and he looked at me like a deer staring into the headlights.

"conversion joints"

I have the 78 HP60, and have 1310/1330 conversion joints.

They got it right Kenny.

Should be 1310/1330 conversion joint. Readily available at any good parts store. I'd go for the life series ones myself.

Most ford D60's used a special ford only 1.125" cap dia not the 1310/1330 1.063 cap dia. Spicer does not even list a 1310 to 1330SP ( F) crossover joint. Measure your yoke and make sure you get the right joint!!!!

DAN5134X is the spicer conversion joint from 1310 to 1330.

Napa number is #2100134

Precision number is #353

And your point is???

That is the 1310 to 1330 NOT the 1310 to 1330SP ( F) which is the joint used on almost ALL ford D60's.

that joint will have a cap dia of 1.063" not the 1.125" that the Ford SP uses.

Try Again!!!!!!!

Thats the problem Kenny, the part you need does not exsist
That being said.

Measure the major dia of the yoke you have to confirm whether it is 1.062" or 1.125".

You orginally said you need to hook up to your stock 1310 drive shaft.

If the yoke is a 1330 series 1.062" cap then you need 5-134X, as stated above, but I suspect this will not be the case.

If the yoke is 1.125 then you can change the yoke to a 1310 dana 60 yoke( 1310 to 1310 - 5-153X) , or a 1330 yoke ( cross over joint 1310 to 1330 - 5-134X) and use the standard joints.

Or you can buy from the same manufaturer, 1 pc 5-134X joint and 1 pc 5-1204X joint. The 5-1204X joint is a 1330 to 1330SP crossover joint.

You can then take the larger 1.125 caps and put them on the 1330 side of the joint and there you have it the cross over 1310 to 1330SP ( F) joint that does not really exsist.

Just go down to the parts store Kenny and tell them what you have for an axle and what you need it to go to and they can cross reference it in their books to be sure you get what you need. That's what I've done.

Better yet would be to buy a slip part of the driveshaft that matches the 1330 on the axle so you don't lose any strength. Just a thought.

ok... So what numbers do i need ?

i think its better to use a established link stead of starting my own,,

theres good info here but ...all the conversion work tends to be a bitch..

if ya run across this problem just change the yoke.much easier to deal with


.I dont think a 1310 to 1330 joint or a

1310 to 1350
are great ideas but since the MY jeep driveshafts are 1310 I be doing this for a while..btw i just blew the yoke on the 1310 on rock:shaking:they are small
for dana 60 sized rocks

Sure - it is possible. No doubt. Perhaps even by using caps from different joints and checking the trunion OD, cross width - etc. Pain in the ass and not easy to replace unless you pack an identical bastardized spare.

"dvsjeep" obviously works or has worked in a driveline shop and his numbers appear to be correct.

BUT WHY would you? You've gone through the trouble and expense of installing a Dana 60 into your rig (to increase strength I can only assume) - so why re-install stock crap?

The Dana 60 can run a commonly available 1350 yoke (or larger, like 1410). Spend the money on a real front driveshaft now that you have a real front end. Even a 1330 is basically just a 1310 with larger trunions - but a 1350 is a much stronger beast all together - and with the commonality of remanned Super Duty front shafts at every driveline shop in North America.

Using a 1310 u-joint to drive a swapped in Dana 60 front end is pretty silly. It's like putting used oil into a new engine.
