'57 Edsel?? Thats a rare one!

I shattered a cheap u joint but was in a little bit of a roll back when I got on it.  That one bent the yoke on the rear end too.

Have a 9" from a Versailles in the shop but doubt I'll ever install it.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

I believe some of the mid 60's big block Mustangs will bolt in as well. Other than that the later stuff will require narrowing. Moser, and others can do that for a fairly reasonable price.

My 9" came from a 57 Edsel, 57 was a direct bolt in, I think 58 &9 will work also

Billy, what did the 9" you are going to put in there come out of? Is it a bolt in? I'm putting a T-85 in my '56 & had to get a U-joint at the yolk that was larger on 2 ends than the other 2.

That's never a problem. weak parts are the issue!

Broken U joints. Hmm, could be worse, like a broken axle or a lunched rear end.. Strikes me that much of the problem is with "lead foot" disease!...

Charlie, I missed your question from like two years ago. Sorry! The u-bolts or u straps broke in my case, not the joint itself. I did pitch the U after that incident though and bought Strange Caps and U-joint. Wally recommended them. Figured if he ran them on that '56 without breakage, they'd work fom me!!

I have never managed to snap one other than while 4 wheeling and a tire was hung up. I hate to say it but that is pretty awesome to snap one with a street motor.

Been there done that. Under medium or extreme acceleration the rearend in my 56 Ford Victoria would rotate such that the third member was trying to kiss the truck floor. When this occurred it would snap the u-joint due to the extreme angle. Solved it with Hurst traction bars - never broke another one.
