WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

as title says , i need a 1 piece drive shaft. should be 57 inches between
centers of u joints. can be with or without front yoke. its going on a truck with a turbo 350 automatic.
should be somewhere in the southeast or at least be cheap on shipping. what do you have?

still looking, morning bump to keep it visible.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

Have you looked into having a new one built locally ? it may be less expensive and faster than finding a good used on and the cost to have one shipped ?:chevy:

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

Did they come originally in one piece stock? I have one available,(72 swb) but its a two-piece with the carrier bearing.
If not I would also suggest having a shop fab one as thats what I did.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

yes 1 piece ones are out there.

no i havent looked into having one built , but if nothing turns up here , i may have to do that.
i was hoping that there was someone close that may have what i need.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

I bought one from them about six months go, for 179.00 with yoke. received it two days later, thought it was a good deal.

and u-joints

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

I just bought one from them for my Falcon. Super reasonable, fast shipping and a warranty. That's tough to beat.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed

To long for me as well mine is 57 1/2 also. Just gonna have one built I guess. Thanks for measuring.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
 

Traditionally the GMC would have been a 2 piece and the Chevrolet would have been a 1 piece but back then you could order it the way you wanted. Same with leaf and coil spring rears.

Re: WTB drive shaft for shortbed
