As long as you dont have a length issue, u-joints are kind of standardized, in series-1310,1320,1330,1340,1350, ect & adapter joints that have two different cap sizes.
I'd remove the joint from the shaft & you'll have to measure the pinion flange or remove it & take it with you. Most citys have a driveshaft specialty shop & it's no biggy for them to set you up.
Or just go buy the measurements, cap size & width for both ends, I think they go up in 1/16" increments. No use going by application.
