what year can I rob driveshafts from
I am wanting 3/4 ton driveshafts for my '72 LWB with '75 3/4 ton axles. Because I have an 8" lift on it they will have to be lengthened but I want something used so it will be a bit cheaper than buying all new ones.
Does anyone know what year of driveshafts I can be searching for? 67-75, older, newer, anything? Thanks for the response guys.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking to do. I don't have the original shafts so I was going to start looking for what years I can rob them from. Still a bit costly to lengthen but I knew I'd have to pay more the higher I went.

I'm just wanting to know what I can start looking for so that I can get them and have them lengthened. It would be nice to have a wider search range. Thanks guys.

That's a good question. I haven't measured the 1/2 ton one I have nor how long of a new one I will need.
Is yours 3/4 ton and for a 4x4 so that it can slide up and down to allow for articulation? What year did it come from? Maybe I should take a few minutes later and measure, lol.

When I lifted my '74 (in signature) I used a rear shaft out of a '72 3/4 ton with an Eaton rear axle since it was longer than the original '74 shaft.

Any year of Suburban, extended cab or crew cab Chevy. The 73-88 Chevy 4x4 had a long drive shaft.
