81 driveshaft and half shaft
Need any info re: part numbers or manufacturer of u joints that would fit the car. Don't want to have my mechanic's hoist tied up for three days like he did last year trying to find the correct replacement for a half shaft u joint thanks

Go to Denny's Driveshafts and order parts:

Call them if you have questions. Order the SOLID u-joints (NON GREASEABLE) without grease zerks if you want to be done with them basically forever. They have EVERYTHING but you'll need to know what's in the car, so possibly will need to take a measurement or two if you're not quite sure.

Bought the u-joints and straps from these guys. They have what is needed, they have the proper parts listed by car, year, tranny, it was all Spicer stuff, and they had by far the best prices.

Hang on, if Your Car still has its original Rear End in it and it is an Automatic then the 1/2 Shafts will use Spicer 1330. If it left the Factory with a 4 Speed its going to use 1350's. The best way to know for sure is to remove one of the Bolts holding the straps on and if its 1/4" then its a 1330 car, if its 5/16" then its a 1350 car. And yes depending on what has happened during its life, it could be different on one side than the other. Even worse, somebody could of used conversion U-Joints and its both 1330 and 1350. Best to take a look before hand.
