The splines on the steering box are what is different.
FR1755 should take care of that

Thanks! That looks like what I'm after. When I realized the factory biscuit was worn out last year I picked up two of these rag joints I found in the help section at the parts store. It took two to make up the thickness of the biscuit and it all went well until one of the bolts rattled out and the car took a hard dive to the left. Luckily I was going slow and blocks from home. Scary nonetheless.

I just noticed, I think I have the wrong u-joint. I have an FR1722DD 5/8"x36.
I'm not sure what's different exactly between the two but Flaming River definitely calls for the FR1755 for Chryslers. I'll order one up and post the differences here.

The new U-joint slides right on and off the steering box splines. I'm not sure what the difference is as my old ujoint is too messed up to measure. I assume the 1755 is slightly larger than 5/8". Thanks everyone for your help in this thread. Hopefully this helps others avoid the headache i went thru.
