     What transfer case do you have ?  I looked and all I could find for a 78 k30 are 32 spline yolks, I tried 203, 205, and 208 transfer cases, do you have something different ?

I have a np205 case. This is the yoke on the front of the rear drive shaft that slides onto the Carrier bearing shaft.

     http://www2.dana.com/pdf/J300-P3.pdf

   Check out this website, starting on page j300p-3, they start with the 15 spline yolks.  They have cross reference numbers so that you can either call spicer (phone number on last page), or maybe take this number to your local parts house.
   Also they say there is multiple applications and show you how to measure your yolk to get the right one.  Good luck and keep us informed on what you find.

     That one says it is a 29 spline, I thought you needed 15 spline ?

     That is kinda pricey, but if you can not find one elsewhere, I guess it is not bad to be able to drive your truck again.
