They are nearly identical, much like night and day are the same.

The u-bolt style is an upgrade for strength and performance. I swapped the
yoke on my AMC20 for the u-bolt style. The AMC20 and the D30 use a different
diameter pinion shaft, which is what the yoke fits onto.

Yes Earle, but the D30 is on the front. On his year and model, his choices
