[FC] Couple of questions

[noahsarkinc]

Can't answer about the top cover, but the rear axle U joint is a standard 
item at any auto parts store.  Just bring the old one in and have them match 
it.  If they can't find the correct one, then go to a truck body equipment 
dealer or a Spicer driveline dealer, and they can match it for you.  When it 
comes to u joints, there are a lot of sizes, and I have never run into a 
situation that I couldn't find a replacement..  Paul in CT
