For the 80, side yoke trunion size depends on whether it's an auto or not..
As far as I can see, the standard trunions for the halfshaft yokes have been Spicer 1350s, all through the C3 years

GM went to the slightly more weedy 1330 size for the 80/81 autos (retained the 1350's for the manuals) and then went back to the 1350's across the board in 82. Just my luck to have an 80 auto!

1350 dimensions are 30.2mm cap diameter, 92.1mm across.
1330 dimensions are 27mm cap diameter, and 92.1mm across.

Hope that helps!
