just drill the yoke out and use 4 bolts and nuts with the straps.

You can't drill all of them out safely. I know on one I tried that with, there wasn't enough shoulder on the backside for the nuts to snug up.

Not only that, but the spacing is not the same on a strap yoke and u-bolt yoke; so when you tighten down a u-bolt on a strap yoke it crushes the bearing cap instead of capturing the head.

After fooling around with drilled out yokes with the problems that Cal and I mentioned, I finally just broke down and bought ones that were already set up for ubolts from Denny's Driveshaft. I like the piece of mind.
Now if I can just get that axle wrap fixed so I stop busting rear yokes and ujoints.

Yep found out first hand that on my yoke drilling isnt possible the nut wont fit so im looking for a j/y yoke
now on my 8.25 drilling worked well.....
Can we not turn this into a drill/no drill debate and address the question at hand?

To keep it on topic: I found a cheap d44 yoke on ebay that I was going to work on from an older ford. It wasn't until I opened the package that I realized it was way fewer splines than what's on the d30. Just something to watch out for...should be plenty obvious at the jy.

Eh F it....
im just gonna buy this:
http://www.rustysoffroad.com/rustys-heavy-duty-dana-30-u-bolt-style-yoke.html
for the price its better then crawling under some rusty junk at the yard and wrestling off a pinion nut in the heat just to be charged as high as $10 for a rusty yoke.

Neapco brand pinion yokes have slightly larger locator/side tabs than stock spicer yokes. Once the tab is broken off the yoke is junk. Just something to think about when upgrading.

Why would the tab break off.

If you break a driveshaft or ujoint it can break the small tab off. I had it happen to my 8.25 once
Here you can kind of see the missing tab
Happened when I did this
