to me they look like 1330s, the one on the left is a commom one to have at the axle with the U bolt style yoke. the two caps without the groves are a tinny bit thicker to keep them from getting crushed when titening the u bolts.. the middle one you "made" is a "strait up" 1330, and the one on the left is a useless "b-a-s-t-a-r-d" now....
i believe so...didnt really pay attention...haha...they work thats all that matters...
the one on the left has the two groved caps for a full round yoke (a.k.a. the front of the driveshaft) and the non grooved caps are for the open yoke with straps that is my t-case output...
i just got lucky with the size matching the one that is already on the diff input...i tried a few different ones before that...
the one on the right you mean? yeah its useless like that...but if i ever kill one ill have a spare cross

i did both...sorta...the driveline shops around here would try to charge $50 and hour for their opinion...3 hour minimum...then they tell ya its not possible why dont you upgrade everything so it all matches....$5000 quote later they have everything to make it work...
if i remember correctly this drive shaft is the same DIA as the one in my truck already...so it makes sense that the u-joints happen to match up...but the yoke on the diff is different (donor has a 10.25 with open yoke mine has the full round flange stlye) ...only real upgrade was the yokes on the t-case...
funny thing is i found a 75? f250...and the driveshaft was a fair bit smaller DIA than the one in my f150...i believe the u joints are the same size though
oh and that tranny my buddy told me had a granny gear...doesnt have a granny gear...its the M5OD...but im sure she will sell it cheap, so ill take it for now...just so i dont have to worry anymore...i do look forward to tearing mine appart to see the extent of the damage haha
i dont know if you were around for my SAS or not...but we all decided that for the most part...parts stores and parts guys around my area pretty much dont know **** haha
they know how to work their computers and thats about it...we dont really have much for dedicated offroad or driveline shops that have been of any use it seems...
trucks like mine are rare around here..i have never seen a SAS in person except for mine...or a twin stick NP-205 swap or any thing to that effect...adn neither have any of these parts guys...they are good for telling me whats stock...my truck is not so stock, so i gotta figure everyting out first then tell them haha
I know what you mean. When I go to the parts store I have to ask for a distributor cap for a 74 LTD. Not that there is anything factory left on my motor to be buying stuff from napa.
Next time you need a ujoint give Jesse a call. Shipping isnt much and it saves a helluva lot of time dealing with part store retards.
haha thanks man...but i know what i need for this one now...i just wont tell the dummies what im working on and simply ask for the u joints i need...that saves a lot of time too haha
