I'm having trouble finding a source for the three Ujoints under my one ton single wheel truck. 80B and 8660 and 991 along with GM are stamped on the Ujoint. Local parts house has had no luck and I haven't found any from the usual sources. Anyone happen to know? Tim

does any of the info on this page help identify what u-joints you have now?

They're a Spicer 1350 series joint. Take one in to the parts store and measure/match, they will have them on the shelf. Used on countless 3/4 and 1 ton and some larger (but older) trucks for years and years.

More info:

How to measure u-joints and yokes:
http://media.spicerparts.com/cfs/files/media/9Mn5KaTiB5f9a6vgJ/J3348-92015%202.pdf?store=original

Catalog of U-joints by application (look at page 72) for our application
http://www2.dana.com/pdf/K350-1-DSSP.pdf
Also look at page 278 for these U-joints listed by dimensions.
And look at page 273 and or 275 for the U-bolt hardware kit.

To summarize:
Our 1 ton trucks use three Spicer 1350 series joints with external snap rings (where snap rings are used).
Part number for the U-joint kit complete with external snap rings is 5-178X
I think it is very smart to replace the little u-bolts and nuts with new, Spicer # 3-94-18X (although I haven't yet replaced mine... but now I have the part number to do so)
Part number for the U-bolt only kit (no U-joint) is 3-94-18X
Furthermore, the U-bolt nuts should be torqued to 20-24 Lb. Ft.


Also, I think the elusive 4.10 center section may be found in more than just that specific 3/4 ton with automatic. With how easy they have been to find recently from the 4x4 crowd, I suspect they are in other trucks. Remember International also used the Eaton axle in their 3/4 and 1 ton trucks for a while.

I'm not sure which models of IH or any other trucks may have 4.10 gears but the possibility exist and is likely that 4.10's will be found in more than just what we listed.

Soon I should also have a part number for the pinion seal, mine started to leak on the way home.

Thanks Grigg, I looked all over and that was my best guess but you even came up with a parts number. I really appreciate the help.
