nope... my 69 has a slip joint style. seen them in 68 as well. typical chrysler deal, whatever was left over in the part bin got used with no clear cut records of what got used when.

nope. factory piece i am sure of it. had a few vans with them as well long time ago.
what i had to do was change the tube as it was pitted quite bad and i didn't trust it's strength. but the ends are correct...

My '67 has the original slip joint style. I think '65 was the last year for the ball and trunion.dix wrote:they all had them.

later when i get home from the track i'll dig out the parts book and look into it a bit further. but if memory serves me correctly the flange the b&t bolts to is the same as what the front part of the slip joint bolts to as well. remember whatever was on the shelf during assembly was what got used.
