One thing I regret is that I could have reused my old zerked U joints and here it is :
U joints that were made pre 1990s were made better and lasted longer and/but the drive line specialists might say "If they have zerk fittings thats weaker , 'BAD' plus these new non zerked joints are made to go over 100k miles without having to grease them " .
Well they are half right about the strength with the zerks but what they won't tell you ( so they can sell more ) is that you can use your old ones and they are just as strong .
You WILL have to use an new front smaller joint AND it HAS zerks !
But don't worry , it will not break .
