Tommy,
Sears has the tool you need. It's an 8mm Triple Square socket bit (12
points).

Like David said the prop flanges require those 12 point socket screws
because of limited clearance. The heads on regular hex head socket
screws are too deep and will contact the U-joint yokes. Hugh should
stock them or try auto parts stores since they're used on some
European cars.
A little info on the bolts:

RE: prop shaft U-joints, I'm also looking for them. They appear to be
22mm x 58mm, made out of Unobtainium as far as I can tell. Anyone
have any leads?
