ba$tard joints

[Jthomas]

My old front shaft has a ba$tard joint with the 4 bolt flange. I seen a picture on google with a ba$tard on a fixed yoke. <-- that's what I need. I can't find them anywhere.

My problem is my crossmember. The front yoke sits too far back, the B joint sticks out enough to make clearance. If I didn't have a B joint, the shaft would hit the crossmember.

Pretty much all the u joints are shot. I haven't measured the size yet to get replacements. And the "ball and socket" joint looks pretty shot also.

Idk what it costs to replace it? Or to get the fixed yoke kind, even if they exist?

Should I just use a flange?

Btw this is on a 205

Thanks

I would just use the flange.... or weld up a new cross member that is notched out for it....

Went to a scrap yard today. Found a 205 on a 350. Snagged the shafts off them. They have the right B joints. But the shaft is too short. I'll just take it to a shop and have them swap the b joints.  I still can't find parts for them tho.
