What do I need....
to rebuild my drivetrain? I know I need to replace my U-joints. How many do I need? What are the part #'s, how do I find the part #s? Are there any other parts I should replace on the drive shaft/half shafts?
Is there somewhere I can go to get a list of all the assembly components?
I have a 4spd manual 68
Thanks

replace what you have with the same thing only new. Ecklers, midamerica, and a bunch of others have the stuff. You will find that on those kinds of parts that the local aoto supply will be cheaper for the exact same part

U Joints
You will need a total of six U joints. Two for the drive shaft and four for the half shafts. You should be able to reuse the U bolts etc. In the past I have had all U joints rebuilt by local driveshaft companies. I had Spicer U joints installed on all three shafts for less than $150. This included sand blasting, painting the three shafts and balancing the drive shaft. You should be able to pull the shafts in less than two hours. Jerry
