CV shaft in rear short WB Rig

[amc75matador]

So I am building a buggy out of a 79 chero, my rear shaft will be about 2 feet long, in order to deal with the angles I am cosidering a CV shaft, I already have a front CV shaft, it looks like I could use a front Xfer case yoke on the rear output and bolt the CV shaft up. This is a quadratrac rig so the Xfer case outputs are already pretty low, although offset. Does anyone here run a CV shaft in the rear? Any problems, ideas, suggestions?
It seems pretty simple, cut down a front shaft and mount it to the rear, but will it hold up. It's a stock 360 thanks

Should be fine planning the same for my '65, running a NP205 and High Angle rear CV flange to my 14 bolt.

Ford Bronco rear 1310 or 1330 version. Works great.

Not in a FSJ, but I run a 1310 CV rear driveshaft in my YJ. Works great.
I used a front driveshaft from a baby cherokee (XJ) and had it cut down and balanced at a local shop. The XJ front shaft is a good source for cheap 1310 CV driveshafts.

Or late model F350 front shafts for the larger joints.;) I think they are 1350... 14xx in the rear.

Will the 1310s or the ford ujoints bolt up to the qtrac yoke? or will I need a new yoke?

[Elliott]

Not positive, but I think those are 1310s I have some measurements I can post here...
1410 u-joint is 4 3/8" wide
1330 & 50 u-joint is 3 5/8" wide
1350 u-joint cup diameter is 1 3/16” (1.188”)
1330 u-joint cup diameter is 1 1/6 or 1 1/8” (1.125” for 1 1/8)
1310 u-joint is 3 1/4” wide
1310 u-joint cup diameter is 1 1/16”

Thanks, I've printed that out, that will come in handy, I am sure more than once.

Humm...
The info I have gives these measurements.

1310= 3 7/32 width, 1 1/16 cap

1330= 3 5/8 width, 1 1/16 cap

1350= 3 5/8 width, 1 3/16 cap

1410= 4 3/16 width, 1 3/16 cap

Yeah, your 1410 is correct so the other likely is also.:thumbsup:

[JeepsAndGuns]

Cant remember where I wrote it down from. But I dont have any of those setting here in front of me to measure and confirm, so I dont know if they are 100% correct or not.

[Elliott]

I measured the 1410 and it's correct in your post.
