    hi all. so im working on my 68 cj5 and i swapped in a dana 30 front from a 74 cj5. now because of the engine swap i did the front driveshaft the jeep was born with is too long by an inch, but i have a front drive shaft out of a 70 v6 cj5 that would work great, its also thinner and gives the driveshaft more bellhousing clearance... but the v6 driveshaft has the small (1210 i believe) u joints and both my axle and D18 have 1310 u joints. does anyone make a 1210x1310 u joint, if thats even possible.

    I don't know that, but a driveline shop can reconfigure a shaft pretty easily.

    Put a WTB ad on here for a standard 1310 yoke for your front t-case output and ditch the small joints.
