HELP! I Need U Joint C Clips

Post by dpcd67 » Sat Apr 16, 2022 7:23 am

Ok, I am working on this WC63, and they have like ten drive shafts and a ton of U joints. So, I have a stack of NOS US made U joints that came with my WM300, but somehow half of the C clips are missing.
I can't find a source for them anywhere. I need 17 of them.
I hope someone has some, or knows where to get them.
PM me.

The OD of the caps is 1.23. and the groove is 1.15. Thickness of the clips is .96. All Dodges use this even in the large U joint between the transmission and the transfer case.

That's one that I can't help you with..... Looks like no one wants to list or sell the C clips for.
The joint is a 5380 series detroit u joint 1.232" OD cup. None of these folks service just the C clips.
Crosses over to a 5-1301 Spicer or a 3-056 Neapco U Joint

Can you salvage any of the C clips from the old U joints?

Sorry, Roger

If I had the old U joints I would use the clips. I didn't disassemble it and the PO threw them away.
I'll just weld them to the straps.


(That is a joke; many guys do not get humor here.)
I'll call Vintage Power Wagons Monday; they have tons of crap laying around.

Look What I Found!
Your reply got me to think I was screwed to the wall and might have to buy new U joints just to get the clips. So I searched though the box of parts that came with my WM300; lo and behold; there wa a little plastic bag full of U joint clips!!! The parts came with the truck which was owned by Appalachian Power Company and it was sold by City Auto in Pineville WV.
So, thanks.
