Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes:
U-Joint Specs
Heavy Duty
Applications

Tech Note 1: U-Joint Specs
7260 Series u-joints are retained by internal c-clips that fit against the inside of the yoke ears. Width between the yoke ears is 2-1/8". U-Joint cup diameter is 1.078".

Tech Note 2: Heavy Duty
Heavy-Duty is a relative term. QU40751 U-joints have thicker crosses and longer needle rollers than is typical for this series universal joint, however, these are really small u-joints, that size wise are stressed by larger gas V8 engines and/or high u-joint angles. If you are souping up your old Dodge, consider upgrading the driveshafts and universal joints to a larger series.
