U-Joint Compatibility Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I swapped out the rear end of my 65 c10 this weekend with a 72 c10 5 lug. Everything went well, however I decided to replace the u-joints before bolting up the drive shaft. Then it hit me...are the u-bolts the same for the 72 as they are for the 65? Or will I need to go the cross-over route. Anyone with knowledge of this would greatly help reduce time figuring out how to go about this.

Thanks!
