U-Joints
Help ! I've been stockpiling parts for my rebuild. (80 F-250 4x4 ext cab with 351m).got u-joints from local chain parts store. They told me all were the same. They lied!!! After 3 plus hours of fighting to get 35 year old parts out, went to install all three driveshafts and found out there was a difference in some. My question is does anybody know part numbers for all five u-joints. Two on the front d/s,and three on the rear d/s.

When I changed my U joints my front and rear joints where actually different and if i remember correctly the back one where it connectes to the yoke have a slightly larger pair that fit in. but thats beside the point
take your old ones up to the chain store of you choice ( I prefer Orilieys ) and set the new ones next to your old ones so you know what to get, the way they set their system up is just retarded so you have to be smarter than it to get it to pull up what you are looking for
these chain stores just have one kind of u-joint in the system for my f100 so we had to do some digging at the store on there computer. at one point I had about 5 or 6 different ones on the counter.

Whatever ones the builder put in!!!! Had the break in already, and it sounded GREAT with open headers!!!! My truck is a camper special, but it is the under 3800lb rating??? didn't understand the reasoning there. I'm the second owner,and have made some changes to the grandpa truck I bought. Pretty much have it all back together except for exhaust. Going with thrush turbo ,because they were free and 2 1/4 " pipes exiting in front of rear wheels. Chomping at the bit to drive it again !!!!
