Take measurements and reference the chart I posted earlier. find what you have and what you need and its as easy as going to a parts store and asking for a 1330 to 1350 (for example) conversion u-joint. They will probably even have it in stock.

And, enough people have done swaps like this that .. oh dammit, I was gonna say, "experienced parts people have heard this question before and know what you're asking for" but there's not really a lot of experienced parts people left these days.

I got it figured out I just took the old ujoint to my local driveline shop and they had the conversion ujoint I need.. now I'm just waiting for my upper ball joint spaces and then just bleed my brakes, after that I'll be good to go

you can just swap the input yoke and use the existing driveshaft as is.

I'm Awesome
Cant always be lucky enough to get a matching wheelbase donor truck to use the donor truck's driveshaft. And replacing a u-joint sure beats removing the yoke, and replacing the seal if it's not leaking.
When I removed the 9.5 14 from the 131" wheelbase, light duty 2500, there was no way to put the shaft into my 117" 1500. So I went with a Precision 447 u-joint.
Then last summer the axle came back out of the rot box 1500, and it's under my Yukon. I used a Moog 447. Different manufacturer, same part number.
