77 U-joints
Hey everyone
Next week I will be in the US (Georgia, Atlanta).
I have a 77 automatic L48.
What U-joints do I need? (Will replace al ujoints...how many different ones do need... I never replaced u-joints).
The parts don't need to be 'original'.
It has to be premium quality.
(Part numbers or links please)

two on the driveshaft and 4 for the rear half shafts. The driveshaft front and rear appear to be 1330 type and the half shafts are 1350 type.

No other parts required to Remove & Replace ujoints. FYI, ujoints must be pressed out of and into yokes. Do NOT beat on them!
But, while you have driveshaft out, I suggest you also R&R transmission rear main aka tailshaft seal ... cheap & easy job.
FYI, driveshaft's and halfshaft's yoke's "ears" can be bent and ruined $$$$$ when R&R ujoints ... can be a frustrating & expensive $ mistake ...
... if you do Not have good-proper shop tools and the skills to use them ...
... I suggest you take shafts to an experienced driveline shop & pay shop to R&R ujoints.
