Re: [Chrysler300] ball and trunnion interchange

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Andy and All:
PN 1739 920 is listed as the Universal Joint Body for ALL Chryslers 1957  
thru 1965 according to the way I read my parts books----with one exception: 
the  1957 Windsor.  Many other Chryslers, DeSotos, Plymouths, and Dodges also 
 used it.  So, if you get a replacement from a Chrysler, it should be the  
same as your "G".  
Good luck.  (Especially in installing that boot!!)
300ly, Gil C.

My  '55-'58 parts book shows seven different universal joint bodies for  
55-58
MoPars.  This suggests later universal joint bodies may be  different for
different brands and models.  The book also shows  different universal joint
dust cover packages for 300's and New Yorkers of  that period.  1450448 is
for Windsors, New Yorkers, some DeSotos and  Plymouths.  This indicates the
boots for 300's may be different in  '63.  There is some indication the
difference is in the diameter of  the solid shaft portion at the front end 
of
the driveshaft and the boot  must fit this element precisely to hold grease.

I hope someone with a  later parts manual can get you the proper interchange
list for your needed  part(s).

C-300'ly,

Thanks for the replies so far. This is the front U-joint  for basically any
Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, or DeSoto, 1957-62 WITH V-8  engine and automatic
trans. My '63 shop manual shows a ball and trunnion,  so probably the same.
Don't have anything on '64, but I'm thinking they  went away from this style
joint when they went away from the drum parking  brake. There may be some
other truck and oddball applications. Dave's right  about the 1450 number 
for
the boot.

BTW, I am replacing the entire  joint. I only asked about the housing or
"body" because everything else  seems to be available.

Thanks,
Andy

I'm on the  road and don't have any parts books to
reference, but I seem to  

recall that the boot part number is a 1450 series and dates back to at  
least


'57 indicating to me that the same joint fits '57 and up  possibly to '64 
for


"some" big 'C' bodies.



If this  subject is still going when I'm get home I'll be glad to do a  
little


digging into the 'ol books and come up with an  answer.
