Default 4L80E Swap U-Joint Question

Alright guys, I am getting ready to order U-joints as basically the last thing to complete my trans swap. I want to make sure I get the right ones though. I have heard all kinds of things regarding joint size.

Here is the deal:
2003 Silverado 1500 2wd with 5.3 and 4L60E
Steel 1 piece driveshaft
Replaced with 4L80E with 1350 Yoke

My question is, do I just need a solid 1350-1330 conversion joint? Some of told me that the stock joints should have been 1350, but I do not believe this to be accurate.

What did you guys use/experience?

Precision 447 joint works with stock shaft. It's what I run.

Measure the caps to see if they are 1330 or 1350.

I don't have a mic, closest I can get is right at 1 & 1/8" on the cap in diameter.
