Re: [FWDLK] Detroit Ball and Trunion Universal Joints

NAPA should be able to order one

I rebuilt the one in my 64 Valiant- they have varying degrees of kits
from just the boot to new bearings and pins
the pin needs a press to be removed

but it is possable to install a new boot over the pin
its messy and frusturating, but has been done before

since then I have had a driveshaft made that uses a gm truck slipjoint that
bolts up to the b/t flange
