Drive Shaft with S-10 Chassis
 
My 50 is on an S-10 chassis with air ride. Since the S-10 long bed standard cabs use a 2-piece drive shaft, I'm wondering if you guys with S-10 chassis kept the 2-piece? If not, what drive shaft did you use, as in a specific make model vehicle?

I'm really dissatisfied with my suspension/drive line setup, to a point that I'm considering finding a stock chassis and starting over. Mine had been under a body dropped S-10 with much of the rear suspension completed. I don't need the huge bridge notch and the 3-link just doesn't look right to me. There is so much up and down travel that getting the drive shaft length correct has been a total PIA.

The 96 long bed regular cab I used had one piece drive shaft. Had to have it shortened a little. Don't remember how much.

It all depends on how much you moved your engine back. I plan on running a one piece measure and go junk yard hunting.

I guess my question should have been this.......Are any of you guys using the S-10 two piece setup?
