Re: Drive Shaft Question

Id spend the couple of $$$ needed to get the correct engagement back (looks like 2+ inches) to eliminate the possibility of whatever could happen. Either the shaft popping out at speed or just putting all of the stress on the last 2" of the output shaft. The other thing that caught my eye is the angle. Looks pretty drastic. Id try talking to someone who knows driveshafts really well before rocking that thing on the street, let alone the freeway. Rode with a friend years ago in a '64 F250 that dropped the front of the shaft while doing 65 mph down Altamont. Took me a long time to ride with that guy again.
