Application
Intended for early GMC 4x4 models (1939-1941) with Timken split-type axles. Fits vehicles with four-wheel drive requiring a short intermediate shaft between transmission and transfer case. Check your vehicle's configuration before ordering.
Installation notes
Ensure correct alignment between transmission and transfer case during installation. Check universal joints for wear. Ensure both connection points are clean and free from damage. Tighten all mounting bolts to specification. Test the shaft's freedom of movement before operating the vehicle.
Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This concerns the early 4x4 version. Not interchangeable with later banjo-type configurations. Early models with Timken split-type axles have different intermediate shaft specifications than later production models. Carefully verify your vehicle type and year of manufacture.
