honestly there s a good joint from Neapco. They call it the Brute Force series and is usually available at most parts stores.

Yea I tried the napa ones, installed them and had a nasty vibration, I went hack to the spicer and smooth as silk. Damn Tommy Chong and his hands in napa stuff. I prefer parts made in USA and believe in the spicer joints, an if strange makes a 1350 u joint they would be pretty good I imagine like the rest of their stuff

Uhhh... not possible. 1350 series joints are for performance driveshafts.

There are such things as conversion u-joints to get the stock size on one side and 1350 on the other(say if you have an aftermarket rear and still using the stock driveshaft), but it's no stronger than the stock size.

We have had pretty good luck with Precision... should be ok if installed and greased properly.

Strange does in fact use Spicer greaseless joints on their basic driveshafts... good stuff for that level no doubt.

that's what i was needing was a part number for a conversion joint that will fit the stock driveshaft and have the size to fit my moser 12 bolt with a 1350 yoke on the other. i was just wondering if somebody had a part number on a precision, duralast, spicer, etc. conversion joint that i can cross at a parts store because they're not going to be able to look it up.
