Will a GM yoke fit an early BOP - same spline

Will a late model GM yoke fit an early BOP rearend?
Both 8.2 and 27 spline on pinion shaft.

I need my early BOP rearend needs to connect to a newer drive shaft with 1/18 bearings. My rearend uses inside clips and can't find a combo ujoint.

I had a driveshaft shop custom make a u joint for a small fee. One side has smaller caps the other had huge caps. I accidentally got shipped a yoke for a serious hp car. Mine was on the trans side but they made it work. Is that what you means by combo u joint ?

Look up Strange contact info they have a website I called them awhile back on my setup and they have a lot of choices and might have the right setup on the shelf for your stuff they were nice to talk too

Yes, combo ujoint has different size cups. My drive shaft has 1 1/8" cups with inside clips and my rearend yoke has 1 1/16" cups inside clips. I thought I would just swap out yokes on the rearend. Later model 8.2 10 bolt GM rearends have 27 spline as does the early BOP.
I was wondering if this had been done before.
