Default U-joint problem

Hi everyone
I need help with the u-joint of the front driveshaft. Are they the same? Only the one from the transfer case side is available in my store. I would like to order them on rockauto.com but I don't know if they will fit. Maybe you can advise me and tell me exactly which ones to buy, some part number or whatever.
Thank you in advance.

When I want to check parts compatibility, I'll go to one of the online parts places such as https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/ and look for the part number for the parts in question. Then if the part numbers are the same, you know you can interchange them. Your local GM dealer should be able to do this for you too. This works even if the part in question is discontinued from GM.

Thanks, but unfortunately I did not find part number there. I picked up the Haynes book, it turned out that post 1995 blazers have a Constant-velocity joint on the transfer case side. That's why my store only had one U Joint
I have a lot to learn ...

Well there you go. I learned something new too!

Thanks for the followup.
