I've mentioned this before, but thats ok. The aftermarket database, for 70's Ford ujoints, is riddled with confusion and errors. Check your cap diameter. If the opposed caps differ, grab both sizes, along with the cross shaft. They may need to measure the width.
At the parts house, have them double check their computer to the vendors catalog. (If they have one, its all mostly online now) With your parts in hand, you most likely walk out with the correct one.
