spicer U joints part number.
I've tried searching this forum but haven't had any success.
Does anyone know the Spicer part numbers for the two different type of u joints on an 87? And more importantly, where can I get them? I live outside of Philly, is there a place near here where I can get them? I tried a couple of local parts places, NAPA and Auto Zone and got nothing.

Axle u-joints are spicer 5-800X, the driveshaft uses 5-786X, best bet is to try a store that specializes in truck parts, other joints that get good marks are Neapco Brute Force available at Advance Auto Parts. 2-0799 for the half shafts, 2-0785 for the driveshaft.

Thanks guys for the info. I went to order them today through a truck parts supplier here. He called Spicer directly and they told him that the 5-800X ($48 each) is no longer available and has been replaced by the 5-799X ($28 each). Does that sound correct? As long as they are Spicers and fit, I'd rather go with the cheaper ones.

The 5-799X is the same size as the 5-800X but without the coating for use with aluminum driveshafts. This coating was used to help stop galvanic corrosion between the different metals. From what I've heard it isn't really a big deal (needed).
