Drill out the yoke and clamp the u-joint on with u-bolts, then run the u-bolt conversion mod and never worry about this happening again

Id drill out the threads and use some ford u-bolt straps. I did that on a trail once when I snapped my factory strap bolts in the yoke. You need a new u-joint though, but hose arent hard to get even if its a 15 dollar cheapy itll get you home. Hell I just run the 20 dollar pepboy specials and keep 4 spares in the tool box since mines a trail rig now.
