Let me check.  I think I have a front yoke, but not sure of the size or if it will work.  Do you know the cup size and overall length?  If I can, I will see if I can put my hands on it and take some pics and count splines.

IIR, I have the close ratio T-10 for the 65 GS, but put in a Wide Ratio and I think my 64 Skylark yoke was the same, so I should have the 65 GS yoke that mates to the close ratio tranny.

 I may be incorrect, but I think you have a 27 spline yolk. 

I thought that , being this tranny came out of a GM product, it would have had a 27 spline output shaft.  BUT NO !   :protest:

  Couldn't get so lucky.

You are correct. I have a 27 spline yoke.

I sprayed a little weed and feed and I'll water it tonight...
