    Wish me luck fellas ! :)

    My U-joint has been groaning for 5 ~ 10 years now , I know it's just waiting to do me dirt in a horrible place :rolleyes: .

    I cannot afford the new $100.00 ones I see on E-Pay so I've been biding my time waiting to find a Hot Rod takeout or that low milage truck that was scrapped with low milage in 1972 or maybe a fire job.....(I know they're out there)

    My buddy called me to-day he'd just bought a new(er) Chebby truck from a 72 year old man way out in the desert , when they went into the kitchen to do the paperwork and swap money for title , my buddy noticed an old photo of an AD pickup on the 'fridge and asked about it , the old man said
    ' oh yeah , I made a Hot Rod out of it 25 years ago then sold it , I tossed that worthless 216 engine in the dump but I never got aroundtuit and the danged tranny and Torque Tube rear end are still under a tarp behind the garage...' :eek:

    Can it be ? will I get my free , good used U-Joint after all ? :confused:

    Stay tuned , I've told my buddy to set this up ASAP .

    Let me know exactly what you are looking for. I may have a source for a cheep, if not free one if this deal does not work out. I can tote it to L.A. with me late December.

    !!

    FREE ?! that's my favorite word! I must have missed the ad as I always try to hook up folks with unwanted running gear as most Hot Rodders just toss 'em out :( THANK YOU for trying anyway ! :) I know there's a lot of folks out there with old trucks they cannot afford to fix and the junkyard way has been working for me lo these many years...

    -Nate

    E-Pay U-Joint


    I'll go give it a look , THANX ! .

    Someone tried hacking my E-Pay account so I may not be able to use it right now .

    These U-Joints typically go zooming up to $100.00 or so in the final moments of the auction .

    O.K riddle me this : I just searched E-Pay using this search string : u-joint,u - joint and the part you listed , DID NOT show up ~ what's the deal ? what search string did you use ?! :confused:

    No wonder I never find anything on E-Pay except by accident .

    TIA ,

    Nate, I went to Ebay motors

    And typed in the number in the search box. Pulled it right up. Current bid was 20 bucks. It's brand new and includes the yokes.

    Not What I Meant

    Yes , I did that , then I decided to try and see if there were others...

    That's my question = how to find it without knowing the item number ? :confused:

    TIA ,
