In my 72 Burb I used an aluminum drive shaft out of an extended cab mid 90's chevy truck.I have a 4L80E trans so the yoke worked out just fine.I removed the carrier bearing and ground down the rivets and hammered off the CB bracket.Had Austin Drivetrain shorten the shaft for 125 I think.The only other thing I had to do is order a u-joint for 1350 series to 12 bolt chevy.Worked great! and I have a lightweight,strong cool looking drive shaft.I found the drive shaft in a pile at a friends house and traded a sixer for it
