Default U-joint sizes?

I searched, and either didn't see what I want, or found conflicting info. I need to replace all 6 u-joints on my '73 L48 manual trans car. I can't seem to find solid information on what size joints are required. Can someone tell me definitively:
What size are the half shaft joints?
What size are the driveshaft joints?
Are the driveshaft joints the same front and rear?

Thanks for the help.

Got this from a Tracdogg2 post

Drive shafts

All corvettes with 350 trans use 1330 u-joint.
All corvettes with 400 use 1330 u-joint.
All corvettes 71 -79 regardless of trans use 1330 u-joint.
All corvettes with manual trans 70 & older use 1310 u-joint.

Thanks for the info.
I assume the "350" is supposed to be "1350"?
