Shane. I would stop pulling my hair out over this. "make it fit" U joints are a PITA. You have to buy 2 of each so you have a replacement part, and then what happens if they stop makeing it? Have the shaft that was in the truck altered to fit using the correct "U" joint for your application. You might need to buy another shaft to get the correct ends, but in the long run it will be easier and cheaper. Who knows, you might just find a shaft that fits right in, right? Check your local scrap yards. My 2 pennys, jim
