A first for me

Me and my '71 Cheyenne were heading home from work last night and I was at a stoplight. Light goes green and I go to take off, nothing crazy just a normal attempt at going when BAM! CLANG, CLANG, CLANG.... and no power to the wheels. Okay, I think, that weak u-joint finally had enough and so I get the truck off the road and parked at a curb on a side street.

Oh no, I didn't have a u-joint cut loose... Nope, couldn't be that simple In this case the front driveshaft broke about 8" behind the transmission. First time I've ever accomplished that with a bone stock engine and transmission combo
