Hi, I am in the process of restoring my drive shaft and I believe that I have an incorrect yoke for my car. It works with no issue, but it appears incorrect for my car based on photos and information from various suppliers.
Can anyone identify what I have? I think I will be in the market for a replacement.

Dead Nuts On has a variety of front yokes- and none look like yours. See

Yes that was where I was reviewing information and discovered my yoke may be incorrect. Any idea what mine is from?

Interesting, I know that the yoke in my 1969 1/2 BOSS 302 looks just like yours.
It was installed during my car's drag racing era prior to 1986 when it also got an automatic transmission. It looks like a C4 automatic transmission yoke that the ring for reducing harmonics has been removed. Yesterday I was able to acquire a correct yoke for my '69 1/2 BOSS.

If it were me I wouldn't mess around and just call Jack at Dead nuts on and ask him. Of course email the picture to him and follow up with a call.

Well its not a yoke that would typically have been used. Have seen these on trucks and commercial vehicles
Since you know what your car should have the challenge is this odd one. Suggest that you get all the measurements since I don't think you will find an engineering number on the part and compare those details to what is listed in one of the MPCs. Believe the section starts with diagrams of a side view then follows up with pages with the specifications. There are likely 20 or more applications and a number of different variations that can't be determined just by looking at a picture
Good luck and have fun
PS changing the title to better represent what your looking for since its not a Boss item ;)

Thanks for the input Jeff.

Here is the start page with the drawing I was referring to. That should give you a start at least
