Default U joint question
Fixing to buy ujoints for my 81 and i was wondering if the spicer solids 5-1310x and 5-1330x are the heavy duty spicer life series. Dennys driveshafts have the 1310x and 1330x for 17.50 which is ten to twelve bucks cheaper than ive seen from other places but not sure if those are just an oem replacement joint or if theres a heavier duty version joint with a different part #. Thanks.

Those are the solid U-Joints (without grease zert fitting) which is what you want and that's what I paid for them through Denny's a couple of years ago.

YES...getting the SPICER U-joints WITHOUT a grease (zerk) fitting IS the way to go.
