just make sure that if you ever take your driveshaft off you torque them to specs, then after a couple days of driving torque them one last time.
I had a friend who just used a big wrench and got them as tight as he could the first time and his driveshaft lost 3 bolts a month later and started smacking the bottom of his cab!
I had another friend who put a new 1 peice rear shaft in his 79 and he lost the whole damn thing because it wasnt torqued well enough.
