i went to one of the local drive shaft shops to pick up a 1350 yoke for my 205 and a couple of spicer joints. after confusing the sales man at the counter, he got one of the guys who actually worked in shop to come help me. This guy really seemed to know what he was talking about. We talked about long slide drive shafts, thick wall drive shafts, and u-joints. i asked him about going to a larger joint that the 1350. he then went and got a 1410 and a 1480 joint. he said the 1410 was not too much stronger that the 1350, but the 1480 would be the thing. that 1480 spicer was freaking huge!!! he checked and it showed that he could get a 1480 yoke for the 205, but i dont know about my 14 bolt rear. i was just wandering if anyone had tried to run the 1480 joint.

on my front t case output. a 1480 series is what's in your 60 front at teh axle ujoint. I'm running one off a duece with an adapter flange I made on teh lathe. I made one out of 2 60 stubs for th elast project I did. 1480 as well. I don't think the yokes are capable of the angularity that the 1410 is. You won't break a 1410. period. I doubt you could build a rear strong enogh to break one without binding it or fully loading it over like 30 degrees. Dodge diesels with dana 80's have 1410's. they were made for 1.5 ton trucks. I've stripped the splines off my 80 rear and blown up a carrier in an 80, and broken a mainshaft in an nv4500 and never broken a 1410.
now, when you can do the 2 stubs thing for free, I say go for it
