your driveshaft uses a 1310 and your halfshafts use a 1350. this is the cheapest place on the net i know of

the neapco joints and spicers are the only joints worth buying and sure enough that's all they sell. don't consider any other brands..seriously, both those are made very exact and cold forges. i just tried some neapco joints and seriously can say they are on par with spicer. i have no idea what a shop would charge for labor as i do all mine myself. just make sure the shop you hire presses them in & doesn't beat them. the install will make or break the life of the joint.

Re: U joints! (Todd15)
I did my u-joints 6 months ago. They were not that bad....i did have acces to my schools auto shop though. Once you do one the rest are easy. Do it yourself and save some $$$. :seeya
