I believe the yoke is damaged or someone has modified it. I found I had a bad yoke on my Burban some time back. I believe it is caused by tightening the U-joint down when one or both bearing caps are no properly located in the yoke.

Photos are from my bad one.

The distance from the inside edge of each tab to the center of the pinion shaft should be exactly the same. See my crude drawing.
