1967 U joints pictures what are they??

[Gary J.]

I removed these U joints from the half shafts today from a 1967 and I am trying to determine what they are.

Pictures #1 and #2 are the front and back side of one universal removed from the half shaft.
Both universals had the flat caps.
Picture # 3notice the faded yellow paint and the lavender paint.

This Picture is the other universal removed from the half shafts.

What was the part # of the original of the universal used in the 1967 half shafts?

Gary;
Is there a zerk fitting boss?
Are you trying to determine if these are original?

No zerk fitting. Yes trying to determine if they are originals. I don’t think so from what I have seen in the past.

The original part number of the half shaft u-joints for 1967 was GM #3889696. I have some NOS examples of these but I can't dig them out right now.

The ones you picture could be originals. From what I can see of it, these appear to have a "bow-tie" embossment on one side. Some, but not all, originals do have this embossment. At the time, the GM forge operations were run by the Chevrolet Division and, thus, the "bow-tie".

Those are about as close as you will find to original. Inside the couplers, they look pretty much correct. Those or ones similar are what I put on my 65. Cant beat them for the price either. I think I paid 12 each last year
