KS Original '71 4x4 LWB Rear Driveshaft F/S

[Ironhorse]

Removed from my '71 4x4 LWB, original factory rear driveshaft with the
sm465/np205 combo. Replaced the front slip yoke and stub shaft, & balanced couple years ago by PowerDrive in Wichita, Ks. Less than 3,000 miles since. U-joints are good. Had to replace my drive shaft during the conversion swap to 350TH/np205 so this one will no longer work for me. Prefer local pickup but will ship UPS if need be, possibly could deliver near Wichita, Ks. Don't have pics right now but will post tomorrow. $75 complete.

Drive shaft pics. If other pics are needed or have questions will do my best to answer.

Ironhorse,

That is Good information. I looked for a long time trying to find a 71-72 Automatic 4 wd truck. I had looked at a few manual trucks with thoughts of converting them over.

How is you conversion coming a long?

Here's an TTT for you.

Thanks for the ttt, getting really close to finishing the swap. Anxious to get back in the truck again, been missing it.

athelo, just returned from UPS and got actual quote for shipping. Drive shaft weighs nearly 33 lbs after wrapping the u-joints with cardboard to protect bearings. Shipping with standard $100 insured to Harlingen, Tx. 78552 zip cost is $35. With the $75 for the shaft complete and the shipping is $110 to your door. Shaft runs good and true, only reason not using it is had to replace drive shaft from doing the std. to auto swap. Let me know if that works for you and thanks for the interest.

[Ironhorse]

athelo, still interested? Doing a "have not heard from you" bump. Driveshaft shipped to your door $110 total.

[athleo]

Yes still interested just one more thing, does it still have the dust cover where the grease cert is if it does pm me your paypal info I will take it! Thanks.....dwt.

Not sure what zerq fitting cap you are referring to. I have caps that I have used in the past to cover zerq fittings to protect from dust, dirt, water and such. I can include one of them if you would like with the shaft. As for Paypal I have no Paypal account. I use money orders or have used on occasion certified cashiers checks when buying or selling on the internet. If you have any questions will do my best to answer them. As I mentioned, the drive shaft is a good condition plug and play original from my '71 4x4.

[athleo]

What I am asking does it have the dust cover at the end of the yoke next to the universal joint! Thanks.....dwt.

All I have with the shaft is shown in the picture. I've had this truck since mid-'85 and never seen a ''yoke dust cover''. Been around more than a few of these 4x4 trucks and never seen one??

[athleo]

Ironhorse I just want to make sure that we r on the same page here what I am wanting is a drive shaft for a K20 4x4 with an sm465, did this drive shaft come off of a 3/4 ton truck! Thanks....dwt.

[nobolt]

sounds like another use for duct tape to me

[Ironhorse]

The drive shaft is from my '71 K10 1/2 ton factory original sm465/np205 with 350 V-8 engine. Don't think there is a differance between the driveshafts from 1/2 ton vrs. 3/4 ton but not sure.

[athleo]

That I dont know either I have the same set up sm465 and np205 set up, maybe some one can chime in is their a difference?

[Joesjunk]

They use different side u-joints. But i think you can get special u-joints with two differents size caps

[Ironhorse]

Drive shaft still available. Factory original from 1/2 ton K10 with sm465/np205
Newer stub shaft and slip yoke within last 3k miles, re-balanced by PowerDrive in Wichita, Ks. $75 plus shipping, money order only, no Paypal.

[Ironhorse]

Lots of looks, no one else interested? Last time bump for plug & play 1/2 ton K10 4x4 LWB sm465/np205 driveshaft, $75 plus shipping, money order, only no Paypal.

[dave666693]

still have it? If so, measure the distance across a u-joint from end to end so I can see if they will work.

[Ironhorse]

Still have the drive shaft available. Measured distance from u-joint center to u-joint center, is 59 1/2''. As mentioned, came from '71 1/2 ton long bed 4x4with 350 v-8 and the sm465/np205 combo. Being used daily until the switch from std. to auto, no issues with the slip shaft or u-joints. If any other questions feel free to ask and thanks for the interest.

[Ironhorse]

Have not heard from dave666693 so drive shaft is still available. Last time bump up.

[dave666693]

I've been doing some research. There is a lot to know about drivelines! I will pass, I need the 1350/3/4 ton u-joints.

[Ironhorse]

Yeah, I learned more about drive lines when I did my std. to auto swap. Had to have some front and rear drive shaft work done which did not come cheap. Hoping someone needs this shaft for a plug and play unit, save them some $$ and I can make a little back I had to spend, Thanks anyway.
