I watched a video of a MOPAR mechanic who put a new driveshaft in a 60s muscle car. There was a vibration at high speed that could be felt while driving.
Long story short, the culprit was the Chinese U-Joint. Specifically the groove for the snap ring was several thousandths of an inch too wide so the snap ring didn't hold everything snug. The driveshaft was jiggling around.
Like you, the guy had to find a wider snap ring from an old Ford application to make up the difference.
It's pathetic that we have to rely on Red Chinese slaves to build restoration parts for our antique American cars and trucks.
