Hey everyone, I have a 1972 Ranchero Gt with a 351 cj and a c6 transmission. (post march car) I need new u joints and i am struggling to find the correct ones.  I got a set from Moog and they did not fit. (moog 429 and 430) anybody have any idea what fits?

Moog 429 and 430 are listed for the 3.5" yokes, are they both too small?

is it possible you have the 3 7/8" yokes?

Can you measure your old u-joints to see what size you have now?
