Rear driveshaft U joint

This is all foreign area to me.

Looking for replacement parts for this. Whats the best place for better than OEM? I hear the term "spicer" all the time. What is that, where can I get that for my truck?

This is for my rear drive shaft. While I'm at it, I guess I'll do the fronts.

Thanks for any input.

Spicer is a brand of driveline parts. I believe NAPA carries them.

Spicer part number for the rear u-joints is 5-160X, greaseable premium 1410 series u-joint. Not all NAPA stores carry them, mine don't. If you have a drivetrain shop locally they might carry them.
