Assuming you are using a fine thread 3/8, 21/64ths.

Drill and tap 1.75" deep or so, bolt has 1.5" thread engagement minimum. Factory bolt in yolks are 7/16-20. I have used both 7/16-14 and 7/16-20. Tap drill for a coarse thread is .368 (have used .375) fine thread .391.
Or just weld a stud onto the back of the tranny. Wrap the splines with a wet rag, and burn it in hot. Have done both, zero issues with either, welding is a whole hell of a lot quicker though.

noser23x I saw something the other day on a guy's car I respect was instead of welding on a stud (it was a Ford AOD which I swear is impossible to drill), he just took a hose clamp and clamped it to the small part of the slider and it held the yoke on place. Said it can push the clamp up as the car folds, but never has had one fall out.

^^^ Trying to visualize this so bear with me but, as the car bends doesn't the slider extend? So how would a clamp help in this situation? The slider wouldn't extend with the car and would fall of the tranny end just the same as if you didn't have a slider?

Generally as the car bends the slider collapses. When I ran stock driveshafts I shortened my factory driveshaft just a little but and never had one fall out. I would never run a slider without bolting the yoke on, but just thought it was an interesting way that I saw someone run a slider and it work.

Is the lip on the yoke that the slider fits onto before bolting required for running a slider or any driveshaft I guess, or has anyone noticed any issues with it not being there? I picked up a rear axle originally built by a vendor with a pinion brake. The build either predates the longer rear end yoke to accommodate pinion brake rotors or the yoke was not correct for the application and the lip on the rear end yoke doesn't extend all the way through the rotor.
