Driveshaft
Has anyone converted thier trucks to a one piece drivshaft. Or, has anyone gone to an aluminum driveshaft to reduce weight... etc. If there is a "Thread" somewhere on the board i would appreciate a pointer to get me there.

do a search for it i know i have told a few people a few time about mine do you have a lwb or a swb if it is a swb just go to a local drive line shop and they should be able to set you up right or even if it is a lwb then the drive line shop should be able to make one for you

LWB
I appreciate the response, and it is an LWB. Are there any negative side affects ?

If the shaft is no made up right, it will 'whip' and vibrate alot, also wear out the tranny output shaft seal.
This is generally a very expensive piece to make and most drive shaft builders refuse to even do it. |
