I was surprised that my local driveline shop found a front yoke that 
fit the Laycock J-type overdrive on my Pacer #4.  It was actually a 
little long, so the driveshaft had to be shortened a like amount, but 
it runs fine.  It appears that Spicer still makes yokes for many hard 
to find applications, so your 1969 T-14 should be easy to fit.  It 
won't be particularly cheap; I think mine ran $100 or so.  With a new 
driveshaft, the whole package was around $300.
