U-joints...which ones?

OK, I know this has been asked before. Just couldn't find the old topic.

U-joints (both driveshaft and halfshaft) for a '75 with a manual. Understand I want non-greasable for strength. Went by NAPA, everything had grease fittings.

Info, part #'s please.

Transmission dropped off today. Plans coming together.

I went with Spicer non greaseables .
I believe AutoZone has non greaseable Brute Force brand which I've read here are good and much cheaper.

I'm going with Lakewood forged, but be prepared for sticker shock. $45 each! Top quality.
