Yeah, I thought with daily driving and a couple reasonably long road trips I would have worked out the kinks. I guess good news is that with these old trucks you actually can do roadside repairs for many things. In my case, I think I bent my driveshaft so likely need a new one built. I am a little concerned whether my driveline angles had anything to do with the u-joint's early demise. I've got a (presumably good) Spicer u-joint in there now. I also wonder about the wisdom of bolting the AC compressor bracket through the waterpump, but have locktite on the bolt now.
