Icon7 short shaft

Well finally got that bb in and headers built on my 92. I'm looking to replace the upper rag joint with a universal joint , where can I get one .I've seen them advertised now can't locate them. I've seen that a 91 has a upper u joint but not sure shaft size is the same. mine measured 3/4 , is this a standard size?Am rewiring truck too most of wiring will not need, just charging system ign, wipers, heater.planning to buy universal kit and use many existing plugs.any ideas would help,but if you don't have any will keep looking.. THANKS

Just saw your answer, do I have to cut the shaft to install the new one? If so no problem. OR A 87 would work, cause finding one around here would be hard

Using anything outside of the factory shaft may require welding/cutting/drilling/etc.. I can't be 100% sure on what will happen with your rig without seeing it in person.
