Joe,
Just purchased Spicer Life U-Joints for both GM #26015249 and
GM #12471503 from a Spicer dealer in Roseville Michigan. Ask for
Jeff in parts at 586-779-4400. Called other Spicer dealers and
they weren't aware of "Life" series. Jeff had to order the parts
but the total cost including 6% sales tax and shipping was only
$111.26! Can't believe how much these things are marked up!!!

GM #26015249----$84.19/EACH Spicer #5-785 ------ $14.97/EACH

Specs: 1-1/16 cap dia. x 3.250 OAL

GM #12471503-----$97.04/EACH Spicer #5-799 ------ $16.88/EACH

Specs: 1-3/16 cap dia x 3.625 OAL

Re: Universal Joints

don, I went through the same thing, spicer wants $14 each for drive shaft non greasable ujoints and they put them in for an additional $16 My buddy is a parts manager and he gave me a ujoint (12545626) after i had it done but told me it would be about $50 each!!! If anybody needs this one i have let me know, they can have it. The place in the detroit area is joint clutch and gear in romulas, near the airport.

Re: Universal Joints

Don:

Read your post, Does that spicer dealer you dealt with carry the full line? I am looking for some quality u-joints to replace the current ones on my 68.

Thanks, John

Re: Universal Joints

John,
They should be able get whatever model you need. They have to order them and
it takes 3-4 days. You need to supply them with 2 dimensions. Cap dia. and
O.A.L. with the caps on. It will cost you an extra $10 over and above the normal shipping in order to have it shipped directly to you.

Good Luck!
