    Autozone used to sell them under the Brute Force name. Summit And Jegs still sell them under Lakewood. If some one is intrested i can get the part # for the STOCK Maverick joint. I dont think they make them in the Big - Little joint. I went on and found the link from Summit.It says this joint is greasable, But the last ones i got were not, And the picture of the joint dont show a grease fitting. The one from jegs says Not Greasable.

    All the parts houses sell the non greasable joints. I've even bought this type for the original tiny center joint of my Ranger's 2 pc shaft. Bought it from Advance Auto. With a V8 twisting on it, the extra strength was very noticeable. So much so that it survived a dry burnout on rough asphalt behind the 331/4speed with traction-loc'd 275 tires. The slip joint it was installed in, let go in this case. The joint held up fine.
