No... The half shaft joints are all one size and the drive shaft joints are another (smaller) size. Unless of course someone made up a special driveshaft.

Mine are different. They are two different part numbers. No I don't have the numbers handy.

The 1/2 joints are now # 5-799x, the driveshaft joints for my 75 were # 5-790x and are smaller.
