is the front driveshaft the same on a 87 and 95 4x4 I broke my yoke putting a u joint in

 

If you are talking about the u-joint specs, it seems unlikely. but you can find out at the parts house, usually a good one will have the measurements in their u-joint book.

not sure about the spline count.

If you find out that the yoke splines are the same you may be able to get conversion joints to make the later shaft work.

Not sure about length, but if you measure the two from the center of the u-joint hole in the yoke to the center of the hole on the other end you will know. you probably have a little latitude since the housing doesn't move during driving. (I am assuming that the front shaft has a slip yoke on it, I haven't crawled under mine to look. if its solid you'll need it to be exactly the same)

 

it all depends on what motor and trans you have and the body style of the truck(i.e. regular cab or ext cab long or short bed).

 

thanks ive done a little looking around and they are 2 different lengths as i was PRESSing it in the yoke . split sill has between an 8th and 16th inch gap in the ring where it broke anyone heard if this happening all these years of beating then in with a hammer and socket and i finely use a press and this happens.
