U-Joints

I just finished rebuilding my motor. and it runs

well i replaced the motor mounts and I put a new top loader 4 speed under my truck.

Now i want (maybe need) to replace my U-Joints. That is no big deal measure that size of the original ones and get the extact replacment. BUT i also want to replace the U-bolts that hold the U-Joints in place.

Where can i buy these new? The old ones are in pretty bad shape. That is why they need to be replaced. Will i have to go out to a junk yard to buy these or can i buy them from a local shop?

Thanks

I got the last set of U-bolts I put on my truck from NAPA, they had them in stock. They also had the right U-joints.

Any Auto part store will carry the U-bolt for the universal joint. Will need to take one of the old one to match up or measure from center of bolt to center of bolt when you go to purchase some.
