Trying to find proper UJoints
1982 F 250 4wd 400 motor. Both U joints need replacing. Driveshaft from transfer case to rear end. Removed driveshaft and bad u joints. Ordered u joints from Summit. Don't fit. Ordered from Rock, don't fit. Need to find u joints. Any suggestions?

Whit size U joints do you have ? 1310 or 1330 series ? Ford used an oddball 1310BC and 1330BC on many applications.
How about linking us the joints you bought and telling us how they did not fit..

Also need to know if inside or outside retainers for the caps.
A lot of information given is for measurements across both shafts, the cap dia. and as I posted in or out retainers to get the right size.
So why don't you go local for them?
If they don't fit then you can retune them pretty easy and try and find the right ones.

Don't know about series. On the original U joint it has: 9A F279 on one side. The other side has; A6 52
One I got from one company is not symmetrical like mine. Mine is 3 7/8 from cup to cup on both sides. The "replacement" is 3 5/8" on one side cup to cup and 3 1/4" on the other.
The other one I got has inside clips on 2 cups and outside clips on the other 2.
Both my u joints on the driveshaft, front and back, have U bolts and outside clips.
Wait a minute. The one with the inside clips have the same measurements as my old u joint. The only difference is in the inside clips on the new one. That shouldn't matter if I
they go into the holes in the driveshaft. Should it?

Look where the joint goes. If it's not machined flat on the inside, but instead is a rough forging from the factory, then the inside clips will not work.
