Quick question guys, I remember reading somewhere that an early 90s F150 with an 8.8 had a standard style u-joint flange that uses a standard u-joint. Can anyone verify this? And is there any reason or benefit between using that one over the flat 2 piece design?
8.8 U-joint flange

In the late 80's the 1/2 ton trucks had a standard yoke. No real advantage. I like the companion flange style with 4 bolts as it makes it easier to install plus you can clock the driveshaft at 90 degree intervals if you are chasing a drive line vibration.
Like gnvair said.
We use the modern one "Explorer style" since the planet currently is full of them. A standard off the shelf 1310-1330 u-joint goes right on.

The ones off the newer 1/2 ton trucks have companion flanges with 1350 joints. The 03-04 Cobras used it as well
