About how much should this cost?
I got the driveshaft out and everything and would take it to the driveshaft shop. About how much should it cost to have them install 3 new u-joints and a new center carrier bearing on a two-piece driveshaft?
Thanks Paul D. '78 C20 Scottdale 350ci, 3-speed with granny gear, 14 bolt rear

Open ended question.
What joints are they going to use? Brute force is cheaper then a Spicer. Same with the carrier bearing. They going to ballance it ? Place I use would do the u-joints for about $50-60 for Brutes.about $12 more for Spicers. Never priced a carrier bearing so don't know about that.

Well, turns out I only needed one u-joint and the carrier bearing and for them to put those two things on costed me 65 bucks.
And no I didn't need it to be balanced.
