Also need to know the engine, wheelbase and gear ratio to use the application guide in the parts catalog.

I went through the same thing ('78 F250). I had to measure and both the local AZ and NAPA had the correct joints in stock.

Go to NAPA. I needed a ujoint and even though the autozone website said they were in stock, the dopes at the local store didn't have them, and barely even knew what ujoints were. Advance was even worse.

Went to the NAPA on the southside, they looked them up, told me to drive to the NAPA on the north side and boom, easy peasy.

Agree on going to NAPA. Initially when I was looking online (even at NAPA), there seemed to be so many. But with more digging, there were only a couple of choices where were different grades.

THREE possible u-joints for 1978/79 F150 4WD.

The parts catalog codes for these three u-joints are 12 - 35 - 42

Parts catalog chart: Look at the column to the left of the part numbers for these codes. Cup sizes (1310 or 1330) are listed at far left.
