One last dilema

I finally found the output shaft yoke and speed cable for my truck and tranny combination I put in. Ok here is the next problem I found is putting the yoke on the driveshaft, the older yoke which was not as wide measuring from the cap ends. The new one is like I am only guessing like a quarter inch wider from where the caps go. We got it all together but it really wasent in the right place. Can I get taller needle bearing caps or is there more to it. I have a driveshaft that has the right universal on one end but on the other end it wouldnt bolt to the rearend. Do you get what Im saying? And I am not sure around swapping the yokes around from one to the other because it looks to me that the caps are wider also so it probably wont fit. I think if I could take some pictures it would be easier to describe my problems. I remember someone saying something about conversion universal joints or something like that. Thanks for the help

Sounds like they sold you the wrong yoke. See if you can exchange it for one that fits your driveshaft properly.

If I get the one that fits the driveshaft it will be 28 spline one and I need the one with 31. I called the parts store and they said something about an adapter.
