Question U joint question

Hello all, I hope your'e well. I couldn't find anything online and I have no owners manual so here I am. I was curious if anyone knows if I can use one U joint for all locations or I need different ones. Was going to go with GMB 2101203 I think I have 5 or 6 total. Truck is a '85 F350 4X4 w/ T19 and 6.9. Thanks!

You need to measure the ones you have. While the rear driveline may share the same ones, the front can be different. The ones in the front axle are likely to be different, especially if its a solid axle. Ford did a few weird ones too where the caps were different sized on the same u-joint.

I see. Thanks for this info. I have TTB axle but I'll check them all. I also see you have a ZF6 swap, I would like to turbo and ZF5 swap my 6.9.
