Re: Rear axle identification and driveshaft?

I went to get my driveshaft today, about 25 minutes there and 25 back. the driveshaft was nice, new front u-joints too and it was painted too! I was excited and went to install it immediately, but the darned thing was too short! By 1 3/4"! I took it back, he measured it and said with a puzzled look, "I don't know how I did that!" Anyway, it's not like I'm going to go drive it immdiately! lol I pick it up tomorrow~ again.

When I was in machine work maybe 20years ago i drilled a hole in the wrong spot on a $1,000 part. I was the only one that knew about it.Nobody was around so i made a plug and faced the top nice and shiny
