Re: Driveshaft opinion
Mine is an 84 K20 long box with a 1 piece prop, 465 trans and 3:08 gears. On the other hand, I have an 84 S10 that had a 2 piece prop with (I think 3:73 gears) 4 speed manual trans and a small 4cyl eng (2.2L??). Anyway, the 2 piece lost the center bearing and the owner tried to replace it himself and bent the drive spline part of the front shaft. No luck in the bone yard so I tried to get a new one, again no luck, so I got hold of a company here in NY that makes them $1200. NO THANKS very much. Searched the net and found a CO. in OK that made a 1 piece for me for just over $200.
Price was the deciding factor. I'll go back to them if I ever need another shaft.

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
