Looks correct to me but that is not a CV Joint. That is a slip union all 3 highboy drive shafts have them.

X2 on yea that is commonly called a "slip yoke". And a CV (constant velocity) or a double cardan joint looks like a double u joint set up.

Yes that is a CV or double cardan joint in the 2nd pic, but I do think that a 76 should have one? My late model 77 has a married xfer case and a double cardan joint.

Just to confirm, you have a divorced or not bolted to the transmission transfer case, correct?
