Here are the part numbers, has anyone done it recently to verify numbers are good or have been superceded?
U-JOINTS GM: Half shaft: 89049301 Spicer: Half shaft/non-greasable: 5-799X/1350 series Prefer Spicer, but GM is still pretty darn good. Rock Auto has a few AC Delco available. 45U0400 45U0123 45U0109 |

now... IIRC... Spicer and Dana are one in the same, meaning that Dana, the provider of rear diffs, also provided the ujoints.
I don't know if Delco parts are still Spicer sourced. |

Well Rock Auto thoroughly confused me as they have different part numbers,
But I think the AC Delco, which they have the GM number(89049301) right next to it, 45U0400 is the one to get as it is ANTI-GALVANIC. I am more concerned with them fitting properly. |

I just had to do this (not by choice)... I could never understand the problem with the mail order parts places getting a correct 1350 series U-Joint. I ended up buying my U-Joints from Denny's Driveshaft. I know your shipping deal is a PITA, but if you just want to buy parts that I can 100% guarantee fit correctly... This is the kit I bought. Comes with new straps and bolts for the stub axles too. I didn't want to chance anything else breaking. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p422_ ... 0_series_rebuild_kit.html If you just want the U-Joints. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p443_ ... 0_series_rebuild_kit.html Will |

I did them on the 94. I used Spicer 1350 series...make sure they are the anti-galvanic type. I also bought the new straps and bolts, not sure why, as when I swapped them out, the ones I took off looked as good as the ones I put on. It's not a huge project, I just followed the FSM instructions. I swapped the drive shaft ones at the same time.

You will need a press, tho...
The anti-galvanic is VERY important... this is because the shafts and yokes are aluminum... and the ujoint's aren't!!! Oh, GM and Delco have different part numbers... |

Will, these are the anti-galvanic type correct? I think its funny that it is for 1963 to 96. That is still a very good price, a little cheaper than Rock Auto as they are 26.75 each. Thanks Update, Dennys arent anti-galvanic. But they say even in their High Salt environment, they never see corrosion. I dont think it will be harmful. I can always put a coating of some of the stuff we use on ships/subs etc to prevent rust/corrosion. Readily available products at West marine. |

I guess another question is, where are these made and the quality of the metal.
AC Delco? Probably Mexico Dana/Spicer -USA NEAPCO? Bruteforce-USA? |

Neapco is a foreign made...I want to say China or Korea...but not 100% positive. I can't say at all on the Bruteforce. I stuck with Spicer.

the denny kit is absolutly the best u joint you can put in a c4plus these u joints you can press the cups that go onto the rear diff and stub axles towards the center of the ujoint and you will hear a little click which locks them on so they wont fall off during install .

That's nice. I had to replace some ujoints cause when I pulled the half shaft. A couple of the caps fell off and the needles fell out. I think next time I may put a zip lock around the caps to help keep them in place. |

Dennys reputation is very good. I have no doubt their kit is great. I will probably go with it, once I get back from Guam. |

High salt with steel on steel is much different than high salt with steel on aluminum. Throw some antisieze on it at least. |
