Need drive shaft help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

First off, I am not interested in converting to a one piece drive shaft. This is an old farm truck, and it is just not worth the effort or expense.

Now then, I broke my rear drive shaft on my 71 C20 2 wheel drive with a corporate HO52 rear. This is the one that goes between the center carrier and the rear diff. I am having a HECK of a time finding a replacement, without going to a drive line shop and having the yokes put on a new tube.

Are there any donor vehicles other than the same truck that would work in a pinch? Preferably a vehicle that is easier to find.

I have had contacts that have C10 drive shafts.

I have had contacts that have the shaft for a truck with the Dana rear.

Both of these seem to be slightly different in length.

Can any of you help me out with some info?
