Yes, you just need to know what joint you have to what you are going to. In the truck world, you see that a lot. The problem is they are a bit weaker because the manufacturers make them as servicable units (greasable), so they are hollow inside and therefore weaker than a solid joint. Sadly enough I have one on my BB ranger from a 1310 joint to a 1330 joint. Talk to a driveshaft shop and I'm sure they can get you fixed right up.

My local NAPA calls them "hybrids", and have several in stock for different applications. Hopefully, you will have similar luck. Having dimensions when you walk in allows you to check them before you walk out the door.

my truck uses a 2 different sized u joint, the brand is Precision and the #cof the u joint is 353, i got lucky at a race shop when they finally found it, they kept telling me i ws doing somethin wrong and right before i flipped out and was gonna leave he was like, let me try one more thing. and wierd he found it. i think some parts sales guys are lazy and dont feel like searchin hard!
