I picked this little sucker up off of ebay for no good reason for $20.
it supposedly goes between the rear axles of a 6x6.
it's kinda funky with the bolted on cap covers for the u-joints.
and it's just HUGE. I put a .750L bottle of wine next to it for size comparison.
anyone know if I can cut this thing up and use it to make a real driveshaft? is it worth the time?

 

[Sundowner]

Can you use it? Maybe...

like for what? putting a 6BT and a NV4500 in Flatty?

what are joints in these? 1410's?
what's the deal with the yokes and the funky covers?
are they any more or less strong than a normal yoke?

I don't remember the joint number, but those are the u-joints from a heavy truck. The caps are bolted on. They are a real pain in the butt toget off when the cap seizes in the yoke bore. They are heavy as hell and there is a special tool to help remove the crosses when they are frozen in. Actually there are 2 tools, the 1st is a 10lb mini-sledge. The second uses a 1/2" air gun.
They came out with the style that bolts perpendicular (sp?) to the cross fro easier install/removal.

hmmm..
wonder if I could talk Jess into putting a real shaft in the middle and providing some flanges.

have to give him a call on that one.

 

[reddwarf]

Yeah, they are bigger than 1410. My buddy has one of them.

Can't really think of any use for it, but I think the slip must be pretty strong. That's the only part I could see you actually using

 

[SLICK RICK]

would you be interested in selling it? I need it for the flanges.. So I can mate my Ford Driveshafts to Rockwell axle flange...
Please let me know cause I am looking for some flanges... where on ebay did you find it??

Thanks Rick

 

[Imkunfused]

they dont look like 1710, so im guessin 1610 series

 

[heep86]

thoes are 1510 joints, and my local spicer supplier just told me that they are no longer going to stock them because they are outdated and way expensive

Nice bottle:flipoff2: 99 though...that wine in the 97 was an awesome buy. I picked up a bottle of that from the winery a few months ago when I was in italy for 5 bucks.:flipoff2:

 

[Sundowner]

Italked to Jess and he basically said it'd be a waste of time for me to screw around with it. it was a neat idea t the time

Rick, if you want it, it's yours for what I paid. ($24)

 

[SLICK RICK]

sold, would you mind shipping???? Do you have a paypal account? where can I send you money... Think about $30 in shipping to TexaS???? anyway let me know where to send $$$ will do ASAP... Thanks again.....

If the truck uses 1510's before the transfercase, what does it use after the transfercase?

 

[SLICK RICK]

Sun,,,, did you ever get the shaft in the mail??? let me know So I can send you some $$$$

Thanks

Rick

Those joints dont work well at angles either. Not much room between the flange and the yoke, bottoms out at like 10 deg

The one I have is like 5 feet long, but looks similar and has the crappy 1500 joints. Good conversation piece, but thats about it:flipoff2:

1410

Go figure

 

[Dead Sled]

stick it on the fireplace mantel and stare at it. I aggree it is a cool piece though

 

[Dr. Deuce]

Thats not a rear DS. It goes in between the tranny and t-case. (they're divorced).
