I replaced my U-joints about a month ago. Spicer is what was in the car. I replaced them with the cheapies from the local parts store. No problems yet. (Knock on wood)

The u-joints you want are Spicer #5-800X. Those are the heavy duty non-greasable aluminum cap u-joints made for the C4 half-shafts. Call any local heavy duty truck repair facility and ask for the Spicer distributor.
