I don't know what it is, but why would you ever think that GM would use a DIN standard in 1962-63?

I did find some weld-on sleeves from Spicer.

GM made cars in Germany in 1962, however in this case I agree a Powerglide is a GM USA transmission and will not use din standards.

I will be getting the part next week. I will probably put it on an opitcal measuring machine and See what I can find out. Thanks for the feedback at least you eliminated the DIN standard which makes sense now that I think about it more.

Not sure what you want to do exactly, but you can buy one of these

and cut off the U-joint portion, probably for far less than the cost of machining such a piece. Note that they are still using the same spline on modern GM trannies!

That yoke fits the 27 spline version, but the poster has a tranny with a 16 spline output shaft. If you look at Strange Engineering's catalog they do have some 16 spline components, though I'm not sure if the OD is the same.

If he can make do with a yoke, I would think one from a wreckers yard would be a LOT cheaper than one from Strange. I expect the wreckers would have so many they sell them of as scrap steel.

We are making this shaft to fit a Drag car. The shaft I need to make is a one off special. Thanks for all the responses I will check out your suggestions. Maybe I can find a shaft that is close enough.

Thanks again
