Wondering if you could tell me witch way your slip yoke is facing on the front drive shaft, toward the case or toward front end?Just bought a 73 parts truck and the yoke was facing the case,opposit mine.Wiped out u-joints twice in the last 4 years. Just wondering if that could be the problem. Shaft is 4 years old.
Thanks Mike in CT.

I'am the orginal owner,bought the truck new in '72. the yoke has always been on the transfer case side . I don' t use the truck much now ,but 30 years ago i did and never lost u-joints.

Just thought I'd keep you entertained til Beast could get back to you- He'll probably have to ask his wife if he can talk to you, she locks up the puter so he can't look at all the nasty pictures cuz it makes him 'frisky' and then she has to give him a time-out again.
