I'm pretty confident the u-joints will be the same. Gonna be an issue of length which will take some measuring. My K5 came with a Dana 20 but it was gone when I bought the K5. The front driveshaft was gone too. I swapped in a NP205 and somewhere I have measurements of the driveshaft I had made.

Remind me, is the K5 that you need to put the driveshaft in lifted?

I will try to dig them up for you so you can compare, but my driveshaft was measured/built for a 4" lift.
