U joint question

[Sdillow2ndacc]

I know the best thing to do would be to take the drift shaft and take it to the part store and get the same fitting u joint, but weathers not been the best lately around here so just wanted to see if anyone with a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 ext cab with a one piece aluminum drive shaft knows what u joints fit this model. When I look online for the u joints I see there is some that aluminum coated. Is this for only if the yokes aluminum or with aluminum drive shaft would I have to have those?

If this is a short bed with 1 piece, the front u-joint is 5-213X or 5-1330X and the rear is 5-212X or 5-793X.  This is under the heading for your truck in the Spicer catalog, if you have a short bed.

 

Later on, it says specifically for an aluminum 1330 series driveshaft to use 5-3614X.
