I purchase a OEM yoke from 50resto and the Ujoint that I purchased from Oreilly's will not fit in the yoke. The holes in the yoke are to small... Are there different Ujoints? If so How will it fit into the driveshaft... This sucks!!!!

Ah, then perhaps 5.0 Resto messed up. Regardless, if you take the u-joint back, you can get one that fits your yoke and driveshaft. They may have to do some digging around to help you, but it can be done.

So there is a ujoint that will fit two different lengths? (Driveshaft width is wider & Yoke width is shorter)

Yes, their are many different U-Joints on the market. Take the yoke to the parts store and tell them you need a u-joint that fits the yoke you have and the driveshaft you have. You will end up with a special u-joint that connects the different size yoke to the drive shaft. No big deal, but they will need to see the yoke to figure out what's right for it.
