Re: Drive shaft please help
No problem. I've heard about them on PowerblockTV. I know Trucks used them and I think Xtreme 4x4 did also. I may use them to replace my 2 part driveshaft on my '81 3/4 ton 2wd with a 1 piece to eliminate a vibration from the carrier barring.

Re: Drive shaft please help
The vibration is not caused by the the carrier bearing, so you must have either a slight bend or other imbalance in one of the shafts you already have. A one-piece driveshaft that long will be pretty expensive. The diameter of the tubing gets much larger when they need to be that long. It would probably save you quite a bit to have yours checked/balanced.

Re: Drive shaft please help
If your truck has the 14 bolt full floating axle then yes you can use a driveshaft from a 73-81 1/2 ton as long as the truck has the same trans as yours does. All that you will need is a trick U-joint so it will fit your yoke. The semi floating 14 bolt uses a shorter driveshaft.

Re: Drive shaft please help
I'm going to be changing the fluid in my rear axle, how can I tell if it's indeed a FF?
BTW, sorry for stealing your thread 1979blkchevy.
