    You can get the joint and the straps at a local parts store.  It's a big little joint. Neapco makes them spicer makes them.

    Dave, You need a 355 sure grip?

    yes you can swap the yolk , many places have the part available & usually for less then Mopar charges , at least the 742 doesn`t have a crush sleeve but you need to torque the nut sto about 250 ft lbs , generally the U joint type is stronger than the strap type but either is good
     the simpler fix is to by the conversion U joint for about 30$ &

    I was thinking of going with 3:55's if the bigger tires don't help much on the highway.  I may try the 833OD I have first though.  If you know of one for sale maybe send me a PM and I may be interested in picking it either way.   :2thumbs:
