And Iwant to change the u joints does anybody know what the #s are and where I can get them. my trans is a 3speed standard with a factory overdrive. I thought Iwould change them while I was at it. thanks for your help . Ijust retired so now I have lots of time to play. GERRY
take one to your local lordco or parts dealer they should tell you what you need

Assume you mean "driveshaft" not Driveline!!! Don't know where Guy St. is, but as said, your local parts store should be able to match it up if the links here don't help!!! Just remember to mark the driveshaft for sync to trans. & don't turn the trans output shaft after marking. This helps to keep everything where it was for balance!! & make sure you have the grease fitting pointing in the right direction [ don't ask, but i had to re-do it]

Should be a 1310 series u joint
You can tell by measuring the u joint, cap to cap.
Here is a link to a page with a chart listing common u joint size
Hello jimmysan I just finished installing my drive shaft I had to replace both u joints the front was a match with the old one but the rear was different thing all togetherthe u joint at the rear end was different 2 of the caps were bigger than the other 2 and so what i did was take a new cross redo the 2 old larger caps by putting new needles in them and using them again and putting 2 new smaller capson the cross it works fine no vibration .p.s when your are changing your u joints make sure you get the exact same ones never throw out the old ones until you are happy with your new ones thanks for reply Gerry (261)
