new driveshaft is done did the u joint conversion

well guys my ball and trunion in my 65 cuda ended up going bad after sitting a very long time and the boot being ripped. I tried many times to find a replacement and finally found one on here. The thing that stopped me from keeping it that way was i dont know how long the b&t joint will be avalible and if it does go bad again it has to be welded back on again anyway. With u joints on both side it makes it alot easier in the future to fix my baby.I used the part numbers from earlycuda.org but the flange number was the wrong number. The local driveline shop told me they would give me a list of what they used so i will post pics and the list tomorrow when they drop it off at my shop. Unfortunately the driveshaft was not cheap, total it was $266 but it will save me tons of problems down the road.
