U-joint part number issues
Ok I have gotten three different sets of U joints from Napa and they dont fit. I just need the ones for the front driveline and the one for the rear driveline TC side. I have 78 front and rear axles and 75 TC. I dont think there is that big of a difference but I might be wrong. Can anyone help me out here.
Thanks Tim

I don't know if this will help you out or not, but it could be a place to start for your research. Last year when I changed my u-joints, these are the ones I used for a 77 highboy. I used the "Precision" (Federal Mogul, I think) brand joints found at Checker.
Intermediate Driveshaft - 369
Front Driveshaft - 353
Rear Driveshaft 353
U-bolt Kits - 329-10

No problem. I had my old joints so when the computer showed multiple joints he was able to take mine in the back and match up the correct ones for cap diameter and u-joint width. I saved one empty box for each and labeled them in case I needed a joint in the future. That way I would know which one it was. Hopefully you can get yours nailed down.

This is the database I am speaking of, in my experience, the second the customer said Ford truck, I would go for the Manufacturers guide, i.e. the book. Believe me, it helped greatly on comebacks. Just a tip, take your old joints with you. He/she needs the cap diameter , could differ on both yokes, and the cross shaft length without the caps on it.

Finally I went back down to napa and talked to someone with some more sense and got the right ones. The other guy gave me parts from a full time TC which are not even close to the right ones. Thanks for the help guys.
