Thanks Luke:
I agree with your comments, but no opinion? Come on let me have it:-)
Can a 1350 yoke be added to an O-Type?
I like the retained axles, and if I use a Chevy it will have c clip eliminators. (I think there are bolt on kits? )
I will verify total cost either way, but I like that the Chevy is larger, and more HD all around.

I really don't have an opinion either way. I believe you can put a 1350 yoke on an O-type, though you still won't be able to share driveshafts with a Chevy 12 bolt due to length differences. The O-type rear uses a 3R U-joint which is at least as strong as a 1330. Don't use bolt-on C-clip eliminators, either buy the best C-clip axles you can (31 or 33 spline) or have a chassis shop weld new ends on the housing that can retain a bearing pressed on the axle.
