I have a local driveshaft shop about 1 mile away - no problem there. I also have the original T85 yoke - no problem there. The T85 I have in possession is the same case/mount/spline counts front and rear as the 1956 Ford T85 - no problem there for a 55 Ford Sedan. The speedometer cable is easily addressed.

The main issue was simply the cross member mount going from the paper trans 259 R10 to the T85 R11.

thanks for all of the replies fellas
