I ordered one off eBay last week when I did mine, it was like 45.00 dollars and it used the same joint as the original one. I'll post a link later on tonight when I get home

I would measure to be sure.



U-joint / U-joint / Cap
Series./ Width / Diameter
1310 / 3.219 / 1.062
1330 / 3.625 / 1.062
1350 / 3.625 / 1.188
1410 / 4.188 / 1.188
1480 / 4.188 / 1.375

Also just so you know most driveshaft shops will tell you to have it balanced after a yoke swap. It could be off centered slightly, and throw everything out of whack. Also if you do get it balanced, never turn it 180 degrees from the point it was balanced at.

That is the one I bought and it works great I didn't have to shorten the drive shaft either and mine is a RCSB.
