I have had my 80 over 12 yrs and alot off parts are hard to find ,I had two axle shafts shipped from Montreal and the guy assured me they would fit, never did 80 has a few changes , even the Haynes Manual does not cover the 80 , for some reason it stops at 79 and goes on to 81, I bought a second Haynes , different edition and the book was different again, even the drive shafts the u-joints are different .

But like someone mention , go to a truck shop and have one made and balanced!
