Torque tube yoke interchange?

[earthman]

I have recently reowned a project with a 54 chevy 235 and a 3 spd. It has the torque tube yoke and i doubt it can be used to fab a driveshaft to the 8" Ford rear i am using. Is there a later yoke for an open drive that will interchange? tks

I went the other way when I built my 54 years ago and just swapped a later 3 speed and a later rear end. I had access to a yard that had lots of ad stuff but never found a good 3 speed for the torque tube. Went thru 4 of them and never got one that didn't jump out of gear. Looking back I should have learned how to rebuild the original tranny, but some kids are slow learners...

What trans will fit the 235 SF?

I got a Muncey out of a late 60s malibu and found a posi off a 68 chevy truck that was a game wardens

Did the trans mate up without an adaptor?

Maybe a driveshaft shop will put a flange on a Ford driveshaft.
