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.

5-627X 4 ea. for the half shafts 17.40 each

I agree with Gordon. I tried to find the part #s but he has them. Those are what GM used in the original C3s.
