If you don't want to go the dealer route, Marlin carries them for a bit less money:

Geeez that is scary. I never want my drive line to fall off! Glad you and your truck made it out okay!
If you are looking for some used drive lines, we've got a ton of them, ummm literally and we'll gladly sell you just a yoke/slip

Sounds good! We used to sell a lot of used shafts but we've recently slowed down with them because of how much time it takes to find just the right length for the customer. So please don't expect us to find you an exact match because these are just being sold as useable cores.
Hopefully also they haven't all rusted up yet LOL Send me a PM with what you need and I'll check if we can set you up with a good match. This way our sales guys don't have to run out back in the middle of your phone call.
Thanks!

The American grade 8 is equivalent to the Metric grade 10.9. The stock drive line bolts are a metric grade 11 so I'm sure your grade 8 bolts are basically the same thing

BigMike, any drawbacks to using SAE and not metric? As far as a slightly different size 3/8 vs 10mm? 3/8" is slightly smaller then 10mm.
Also aren't most SAE bolts that are that short normally threaded to the head and/or have much shorter shanks which would somewhat degrade that grade 8 rating?

Just image loosening your flange nuts a bit and then doing a burn out. You'd be far more likely to shear all four bolts than if they were torqued in place and could rely on the friction between the two flange faces.
I can't really be impartial to this because I like to keep my metric truck metric using only JIS hardware where ever possible. So you won't find me using American flange bolts, not because they are a better choice or not, but because they are not OEM.
