Re: '72 gmc

Finally picked up the bed from paint today. I also picked up the new driveshaft. When I test fit it (before I painted it) I found out the rear section was too long. Back to the driveline shop tomorrow to get it cut down........

I also noticed that since the truck is now about 6" lower than stock, the stock carrier bearing bracket held the driveline too low to ever get good balance. I had to cut it up and re-build it to raise the front section of driveshaft higher (about 2.5").
