Universal Joint help
I was putting my drive shaft in my 49 F3 and noticed that the old universal joint feels like it has a little grit in the bearings. I figure this is the time to do it. I am trying to determine which one to buy. My truck has a two piece drive shaft linking a 4 speed to a Dana 60 from sometime in the 70s (I think). How universal are these things. If not how are they sized and how do I know what I have?

2. Remove u joint, measure cup diameters and length of cross yoke assembly and order u joint from charts.

I hate U-joint work, and those guys make it look so easy. Usually get a call that it's done just as I get back home.
