U joint question

I'm looking for new U-joints for my '59. In the LMC catalog they show u-joints for a 3spd (w/HD) and a 3 spd (wo/ HD). How do I know which one I need? Will they both work and one is just beefier or what?

Re: U joint question

Measure your driveline and pinion joint sizes and go to a local shop in Portland, probalby costs about the same and you know they will fit.

Re: U joint question

True, I just happen to be placing a good size order of brake components with LMC and was hoping to eliminate having to go into town. I'm about 30 miles outside of Portland.
