Is there anyone here with a 1951-1954 SENIOR Henney-Packard parts car? I am looking for the adapter that goes between the transmission’s flange-type (Mechanics) yoke and the loop-type (Spicer) u-joint. Below shows the yoke along with a modern adapter so I expect the one for these cars resembles the modern one.

Before anyone points it out, I know I can use a Mechanics to Mechanics u-joint and the Packard Parts Book even shows one as a replacement for the front joint but I would prefer to use the proper original joint which was Mechanics on one side and Spicer on the other so that all three u-joints are the same.

I am not looking here for referrals as I’ve already contacted all known Henney suppliers so if you have one yourself, please let me know.

Anyone? Still looking and surely there are other Henney owners here with parts cars! I believe this same adapter was also used on the 1953-1954 long wheelbase passenger cars but not on the Henney Junior or the regular passenger cars which all had single-piece drive shafts.

As we discussed in our conversation, I'm still on tap for a trip Out West to the second-to-last resting place for my '54 Henney hulk. Once I cut the floor out, I'll send pictures and you tell me what you want from what's there.


This will be the foundation for my How I Spent My Juneteenth paper this year.

Wat, yes, I haven’t forgotten and I appreciate it but I fear it isn’t there in your car so am just covering all ground by keeping the posting fresh just in case! This adapter has typically gotten replaced over the years by a different type of u-joint.

Maybe, and maybe not. The car is low mileage and has been a junker for a very long time. I doubt that the aft end of the transmission ever saw the light of day after assembly. I could be wrong, though. Regardless, the sawzall will reveal what's there.
