U joint straps , 4140 billet steel.

Post by mysteryman »

As many of you know. no one is making the u joint strap and bolt kits for the 5380 Detroit u joint anymore .
The 5380 is the largest of the Dodge truck joints . They were used on 1960's threw early 80's D/W200 up to D/W600 Trucks . Also used on school bus and motor home. These straps tend to stretch out and get loose. Some years ago I made some super strong straps out of 4140 billet steel. I need some for my D600. I am considering having some made by a job shop. I still have all the drawings and fixtures. They have a CNC machining center. I will have to buy at least 250 pairs. Who wants in ?
I will make them is I get enough interest . Otherwise I will make 1 set for myself on a manual milling machine . Anyone interested can email me at terry@firstdodgecummins.com Thx
