You have a dana 30. if the passanger tube is straight you have a no-disco, but if there is a square bulge thing it is a disco. your transfer case is either a 231 or 242, but it should not matter for what your doing. If you have a full-time option of the 4wd shifter you have the 242

If you have a vacuum disco D-30.. the you don't have to mess with it at all. The u-joints are in the outer half of the shaft and you will remove it from the axle.
