Default U joint Sizing

Hello all, I have a 1997 F150XLT V8 4.6L Supercap (2 main doors, 1 rear door) 8ft bed, Long wheelbase

I am needing to change my Ujoints. My driveshaft is the 2 part drive shaft, with 3 U joints. One in the Front, One in the Middle, and one in the Rear near the diff. I am needing the sizing of these U joints as there seem to be differing sizes of the caps on the auto parts websites.

Does anyone know what sizes the U joints are, and if there are different sizes for a particular location.

Thanks.

Not on your 1997
Yours should all be the same size caps
Truck should have come with a Ford / Spicer U-joint
Spicer 5-1330-1X is a greaseable replacement
All 3 U-joints should be the same on yours
The ones that had 2 bigger caps were for the rear end yoke with the 2 U-bolt straps
Under those straps takes a bigger cap
Yours with the flange style yokes are all the same U-Joint
Check with a Autozone and buy the Spicers,
they also offer a supposedly heavier duty design with no zerks
I like to be able to grease mine
