Which U-Joints?

Looking for some decent quality non-greaseable U-Joints for my truck. What have you guys used? I realize some of the 05's were still staked in but im pretty sure I saw clips on it so im pretty sure they are replaceable, ill have to double check later.

I always check Amazon.
I scored a pair of sway bar links for $10.13 each for one of my T-Birds there awhile back, cheapest price on same links anywhere else was $40+ each .... got last ones in stock. I also saved a bundle on a new Moog Drag Link for my '77 F-150 last winter there ... and timing belts for a Gold Wing MC made by Gates who makes Honda's at 1/4 what Honda asks.

Also, about the staked in U-joints .... there are now kits where the staking is cut out and U-joints with cluips are installed.

yeah but those kits are about $150 from what I have read, and a new shaft with traditional joints runs around $300-$350 so if they are staked go to a driveline shop and have them make you a new one. Or get a new shaft and make sure its true and balanced and just replace the joints
