If your truck was made in Canada, it uses a Spicer cross and roller joint which is readily available because Chevrolet used it from 1955 through the 60s.

If it is a US built truck then it likely uses the Ball and Trunnion sealed joint.

Should say on your plate inside the divers door frame where the truck was produced.  Welcome to the forum, and hopefully we can help.

My 1950 B2B  has the same U Joints, they are called "Cleveland style ". Roberts Motors had them for $ 75.00 each last year when I ordered mine.

Those illustrated are not the same as on the Canadian truck.
