They'll work if you have the right size, 5-297x...do you? One of the reason to upgrade to the F150 axles is the larger u-joints relative to the Early Bronco D44's (5-260x).

Whether they work or not, be very careful with the F150 axles spitting out the u joint C clips. The C clips are only held in about half way around. I put tiny spot welds from the cup to the yoke to hold the ujoints in after spitting out a few. Worked great, but kept an eye on them just the same especially with the pricey Yukons u joints. F150 axles are strong tho, so good working man's alternative to chromolly axles.

super joints are bigger than 297/760 joints.

i tried to swap a friends spare chromo stub w/ yukon joint...and it was too big for my stock f-150 inner shaft.

they may make a 297 super joint, i dont know... all his stuff and my yukon stuff in the past came from complete offroad.

i thought the 760 joint was the same as the yukon joint. i guess i will have to look into chromo axles.
