Rear axle identification and driveshaft?

[Denee007]

71~ cool! When I was in my 20's, I used to think someone in their 60's/70's were old, but now that I'm 57, almost 58, I think of someone in their 70's as "middle age"! or when I hear myself say, "a long time ago", now is getting to be just that, a long time ago! It's funny to hear my 5 y/o grandaughter say "a long time ago"! lol Hey wait a minute, you haven't been around long enough to say "a long time ago"! I guess it's just relative to your age and how young you feel in your heart and what one is able to accomplish physically and mentally. Physically, things are definitely becoming tougher! ; )

In my last post I said that I measured the driveshafts from bearing to bearing when I had my diveshafts made for my 4X4. After thinking about it it occurred to me that all of the driveshafts bolted directly to a yoke, so bearing to bearing would be the only way to measure those. The slip joint was in the driveshaft, not at the front like a two wheel drive vehicle.
My excuse is, I'm 71, got a bad case of CRS, and I had those done ten years ago, LOL.
