Technical What type of open conversion is this?

No splines, key way tapered. Complete. I've only seen splined before? Is this an early conversion?

Thank you guys.

 

Looks like a stock Ford pick-up open drive banjo.

 

That's what it is.

 

Are they any good? I have a complete 46 truck banjo.

 

I gave 2 away last year...

 

Pick up stuff.

 

yep stock pickup stuff, been looking for a yoke for a while now

 

Dick Spadaro sold me an NOS yoke last year. Give him a call.

I see people spending big $$ for aftermarket open drive conversions. The stock pieces are as good as any. I scored a complete center section for my A pickup and it had a 3:54 ring and pinion.

 

The real kicker here is the pinion being threaded to hold the yoke on vs the splined pinion with a hole for the pin that holds the driveshaft on.

 

42-47 Ford PU. good item, complete axles are a little wide for early fender cars but center section can be exchanged with earlier 35-40 axles and tubes for narrower open drive rear.

 

I've built two of them. Running one in my T-Bucket.No trouble if you don't get crazy.

 

What is the gear ratio, of the ring and pinion set?

 

I will have to look tomorrow. hmm, I didn't know that they came like this.

 

exactly.. thought that might be rare.

 

They come in several different ratios. Lowest was the '42 4 cylinder pickup (basically a 9N tractor engine) that was offered as an option in '41 and '42. 6 cylinder trucks were geared lower than V8. Best I remember, the V8 pickups came with 3.78 or optional 4.11. I think the 4.11 was used on 6 cylinder.

 

3:54 gearing. Are these going to be ok behind my mild 40 Flathead t-5 conversion. .AV8 car...? Or should I get rid and go with the 6 spline 3:77 gears?

well, I have a 3.78 in my tudor with 750-16 rear tires behind a Y block and it seems to be a great ratio so far.

 

I actually meant will this slip type yoke be ok? or is a splined a must?
