I remember seeing a NAPA part number for the Ujoint between a regular Drive shaft and a 14 bolt rear. You don't happen to know what I need to ask for do you? By the way, Have you noticed how little a lot of salvage yards know about interchanging parts lately?. Thay've got it all computer and the first thing they ask you is "What's it going on". I usually say "It doesn't matter, I know what I'm looking for and If I screw up it's my problem." I've learned never to say it's going on a K5 blazer because the next thing out of there mouth is "We don't have one of those". A lot of them think there's some weird curse on parts that makes them explode for mysterious reasons because you put them on something they didn't come out of. I just got off the phone with one guy who's response was" You don't want to put a rearend from a two wheel drive into a four wheel drive. It causes problems." when I asked why he proceded to give me a rundown of how everything in a four wheel drive has to be on the same ratio, etc... I replied "Don't worry about that, as long as it's somewhere between 3.86 and 4.10, I'll match the front ." He said I'd still have problems, so I hung up and called another place who said they had 3 vans and a c30 with 14 bolt rears all in the 80's so I'm heading there Saturday. There are a few places around here who still know what you're talking about. Sorry about the long post I just had to rant. I just hate computer catologed salvage yards. (When they are run by people who don't know how to use the info, understand I'm not complaining about the people who can understand basic mechanics)Had to add that in since I know we have a few members with yards.
Thanks so much for the help!!! I've found more useful info here than in a stack of manuals..
