Ray,
I simply took the Ford Courier drive shaft (which is much larger and
stronger) to a local diesel truck shop. The machinist took the time to cut
the Courier driveshaft to length (it's much too long) and then wield the
Sunbeam yoke into the differential end of the driveshaft leaving a
driveshaft with a Ford yoke on the transmission end and a Sunbeam yoke on
the differential end.
