I guess that's pretty much what I have - just made my own.
I had a 1-piece shortened for my truck when I did the 700R4 swap, and bought some new Spicer U-Joints to go with it. The end caps worked great in the shaft girdles, but not the rear end girdles...So I just slid 2 of the end caps off of my old U-joint to use in the rear end sides, and it works great.
You have to have the same diameter U-Joint "ears" or whatever though to do that. (The part the caps slide on).
