Best source for a front drive shaft?

Mine is still holding together, but the slip joint is a little sloppy. Rock Auto has one, but $350 seems a little steep. Any other sources you suggest?

Look for a local drive shaft shop they can often repair yours for less

Heh. Good luck in my neck of the woods. I live in a land of yuppies who can't even mow their own lawns much less know how to work on an old car/truck. Those kinds of shops went by the wayside locally YEARS ago.

I just figure it would be easier to swap a new one in rather than having to deal with a shop 50-100 miles away.

got a new one from a local shop here in nc for just a little more money than they were going to charge to rebuild my old one.

Re: Best source for a front drive shaft?

I am going to have to buy a driveshaft, because of the BB conversion and manual trans they stock front driveshaft was missing so I am hoping a local shop can get me one at a good price I am going local for sure though.
