Driveshaft options for a C30 w/133 wheel base
Got a bent driveshaft (rear shaft) so I need to find a source for a good used one. This is on a 69 wrecker. Since this is a 1 ton with a 133 inch wheel base, what other trucks would use the same rear driveshaft?
Not sure if the longhorn's used a longer driveshaft or perhaps just a longer yoke? Also not sure if 1 ton had a special driveshaft compared to a 1/2 or 3/4 ton. Please educate me.

Re: Driveshaft options for a C30 w/133 wheel base
if you put a used rear half of a 2 piece driveshaft into your truck you will have to have it ballanced by a driveline shop anyways. Why not just have them put a new piece of tube in your existing driveshaft and have them ballance that? Maybe more money initially but I'm sure it will save you a ton of time and probably some gas money.theirs alot to be said for doing it right the first time.
