Driveshafts Unlimited - San Antonio
Let me tell ya a little story. No, not about a man named Jed.
![]() Found a one piece drive shaft from a 78 chevy 1/2 ton for my slowly progressing 68 GMC 700r4 swap. I measured like 5 times and decided it needed to be 3 1/2" shorter. Measure twice, cut once, right? I found Driveshafts Unlimited to be the closest, 35 miles one way. Yesterday I took it to these guys to have it shortened. Took them about 2 hours, including their 1/2 hour lunch break and the fact that there were customers ahead of me. $70.00 to shorten by 3 1/2" and install 2 new U-joints. Good job, timely service and reasonable prices guys! ![]() I got it home and it's a good thing there were no kids out playing because I cussed a blue streak! My mistake, not theirs. Not only had I not measured right (still too long) but I had forgotten that the drive shaft came out of a 1/2 ton but was going into a 3/4 ton. Whats that mean? It means it needs a 3/4 ton size U-joint on the tail end! DOH! So today I took it back along with the original short shaft hoping they can use the bigger end off of it to fix my f'up. Another 70 mile round trip. ![]() I got there at 9:00 am and by 9:30 they had it done and I was headed home. And what did they charge me to fix my screw up you may ask, no go ahead, ask.. NOTHING! Zip, zero, zilch! They knew I had quite a bit of time and travel invested. They just asked that I send them some business. I can damn sure do that! ![]() If you're in the area and need driveshaft work these are the guys to see. ![]() Drive Shafts Unlimited 150 South Ww White Road San Antonio, TX 78219 (210) 333-5050 |
