8.8 u joint size compared to xj fr/ driveshaft

does anyone know what years the explorers ran 1310's. I'm swapping in a 97 8.8 with a xj front shaft. I know the fronts are 1310's and most fords had 1330's but some had 1310's. I'm looking at my parts and I don't see a difference between them. Did I luck out?

searched for days and finally find the answer after I post it up.
I found this:

"The 8.8 uses a flange instead of a yoke at the diff pinion, so you'll
need a flange to u-joint adapter. Most of the disc brake 8.8's I've run
into or read of use a 1330 u-joint while some (or all?) drum brake 8.8's
use 1310 u-joints. Here are the Spicer adapter part numbers for your
reference: 1310 yoke - #2-2-1379; 1330 yoke - #2-2-1369."

I don't see any explorer that used 1310 u joints on the rear end .
Simple fix is a combonation u joint precision number 353.

What sense does that make,he still needs the adapter flange anyway.He needs it to fit to the XJ shaft!

I confirmed it today at the driveshaft shop. my 95 drum 31 spline 8.8 has a 1310 u joint flange adaptor.
