Part Story

This aluminum 1350 series weld yoke fits 3.50" X .083" wall tubing.

Weight is the story with aluminum. The less weight, the less mass to move, the more power to the rear wheels (racers love this stuff).

Usually a long weld yoke like this is designed to replace a damaged long weld yoke on swedged factory shaft. This saves the customer from having to re-tube the shaft. Another option is if a truck is lifted, the long weld yoke extends the shaft enough so that a re-tube is not necessary.

I don't think this is the case with this yoke. I cannot think of a factory aluminum driveshaft with 3.5" tubing that has a long weld yoke or a truck that came with 3.5" aluminum tubing.

I called the manufacturer and he said that most of his customers are using this yoke for Corvette half shafts. Because the yoke is so long, 5.4" from centerline to point of weld, the half shafts require a very small amount of tubing. Most of the half shaft is made from the weld yokes, making a very strong aluminum half shaft.
