Spicer is still made......just under a different brand names.

Napa and Raybestos ARE Spicer. Exact same design, materials, and even the boots are the same and same color.

You can find the Raybestos ones on rockauto for like $22 a piece.....not bad.

RAYBESTOS Part # 5051145 More Info {Professional Grade}
Front Suspension; Lower; Four Wheel Drive (4X4); Dana 35 Axle
$27.79

RAYBESTOS Part # 5001066 More Info {Professional Grade}
Front Suspension; Upper; Four Wheel Drive (4X4); Dana 35 Axle; Pinch Bolt Stud Design
$27.79

My bad they're $28 a piece. Not bad considering napa wants A little over $40 a piece.

yeah, checker wanted $43 a piece for the Moog, so I said and found them on RockAuto.com for $16 a piece(wholesaler closeout) which only includes a 30 day warranty rather than the standard but for that price I couldnt argue.

WTF? I just looked on Rockauto myself and I now see nothing at all under the actual Spicer name anymore

What gives with this? Our beloved 5-760X u-joints aren't going to disappear also are they (or have to be searched for under other names)?

And FWIW, I found the Moog joints themselves to be fairly decent, but the grease boots are pieces of s#!t resulting in having to replace one joint prematurely after two years.
