Deff. Yoke

Hey guys, is the front deff. Yoke smaller than the sides? I just finished my rear end rebuild last night and went to install my drive shaft when I found out the u joint straps I used for the half shafts were a quarter inch to long. Thanks

Don't know about 81's, but earlier cars had 1310 joints on the driveshaft, and larger 1330 joints for the half-shaft yokes.

Thanks John.

From what I can determine, cars of these years with auto trans used different sizes of yokes and straps than manual cars. Whether either of those was the same as the diff input yoke, dunno.
