"Junkyard Crawl" with Dad - Looking a driveshaft with 7290's

[wjaholic]

I am going to start doing the "junkyard crawl" with my dad. We are looking for a drive shaft for my Duster that uses the 7290 u-joints. I have the yoke for the rearend (8-3/4 - 742 case) and I figure the slip yoke is a hit or miss with the driveshaft. We were wondering if there was a car or truck (readily available in the Junkyards) out there that came with the 7290 U-joints.

We are thinking if we can score one with the 7290 U-joints that we need and if it is in good shape, not damaged or heavily rusted; I can have it cut to length (put new u-joints in it obviously) and get my car on the road.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Most 440 C-Bodies from 1969 to mid 70's for sure. Plenty long to have shortened. Mainly New Yorkers. Lots of C-Bodies with 383-2 had the 7260 U-Joints. In 72-74 the 400 Newports had the big ones too-I think, Not sure.. Lot of pick-ups had the small u-joints. Good Luck, Myron
