I've been searching for days on 1350 yokes and can't seem to find a perfect answer in any threads. I'm in the process of building an axle for my '06 silverado and I wanted to go ahead and switch to the 1350 yoke for future modification purposes. I'll utilize a conversion joint until I do a 4L80E and new driveshaft.

From what I've gathered, the only type made for my axle is basic level OEM type yokes, and if you want performance yokes with u bolt straps, you have to get one from an 8.5" rear end. My understanding is you have to use the older 8.5" style seal with it, not the one I have in my master kit for my 8.6"

Can someone with experience elaborate on the best way to get a 1350 yoke on my rear end?

Build is trutrac, Yukon 4.11, all new bearings, brakes, paint, etc..

 

I have the yoke that you need, brand new. It's a u-bolt type, not flat strap. I believe I have the right seal also. I no longer need them. Your information is correct.
