on the rear ujoint just go to a real parts store not autoslut and tell them what year the axle is and what year the driveshaft is and they should be able to figure out the joint it's real easy if you've got the part#'s and book right in front of ya..

All they do is look up the joint that each one takes then go to the back of the book and there's a guide that tells them what joint those to together make...  HTH

On the Np205/350 turbo.....................the 350 should be very close in length to a 700R4........the 208 and its adaptor............are gonna be close in length to a Np205 and its adaptor( the 208 & adaptor might be alittle bit longer though)...........but you really wont know until you hoist it up in there....either way you can drill out the holes. A quick way to tell, is measure both trans/T-case setups as they are bolted together......that will tell you the difference in lenght

Also keep in mind..........GM used 2 different Np205s 69-78 with knuckle rear yoke......and 79-91 versions had a rear slip yoke.....the slip yoke version will be longer just because of that fact.

I'm just assuming you do not have the driveshafts that came with your 350/205..

If you have a slip yoke rear Np205........then your current driveshafts will work..........but if its got the knuckle rear yoke, you'll have to have a new rear drive shaft made. 

Your front driveshaft should be the saginaw style (has 2 cv joints....and round rear bolt on flange) that will work on a 78-up 205s.......but if your 205 has the pre78 front knuckle style.....then you'll have to swap it out, or get the spicer style front driveshaft from a 77-back gm 4x4.

On the rear U joint...........what they sell is a (3/4 ton....1/2 ton U joint)........the 3/4ton portion fits your axle yoke.......the 1/2 ton portion fits the driveshaft.
