Question about Driveshaft diameter

So I'm going to replace the center support for the drive shaft on my '65 F250. In my search of parts, I've found two parts that fit, one for a 1.378" or 1.5478" diameter, is there a rule of thumb to determine which one is applicable to my truck? This is me being lazy and crawling underneat...

Re: Final recruits

Ah! that explains it! I don't envy the DI/DS position in any branch, those hours suck! and dealing with adult children sucks.

I would fill it with one gallon of white vinegar and a garden hose, run the engine for a bit after the thermostat opens then drain it with one of those garden hose flush kits until it runs clear, wait 1/2 hour and water flush it again.

Re: '65 F250, what did I get in to?

Nice truck. Just curious, what would be a class I or III leak? It's an army thing; a class 1 is sweating, not enough to form droplets, class 2 is leaking enough to form droplets, and class 3 is "holy @#$& it's leaking!", Aka constant droplets/stream. Thanks for the kind words. After s...

'65 F250, what did I get in to?

Good evening, I've recently purchased a '65 ford F250. Great truck! good condition for it's age. The previous owner claimed 71K original miles.
