Yes. All 70-83 UJ style halfshafts are flanged on both ends. Only variation is 280ZX turbo cars (and some 2+2's some here have commented on) that have the CV axles. These have an integral/combined splined portion at the diff side that goes straight into the diff with no flange at all on the diff side. The same CV flanges have a more robust flange at the hub side with a large diameter (ie. stronger) bolt circle with 6 bolts vs. the UJ style smaller bolt circle with 4 bolts. The CV units were truly designed to withstand a lot more punishment.
