Seeking North Dallas Shop for Drive Train

Hello fellow truck nuts. I need help finding a honest shop in the far North Dallas area (Richardson, Plano, Allen Mckinney, Frisco) to help me with a drive train issue on my 64 SWB. I need a place to build/repair/find my driveshaft and possibly rebuild the differential. I swapped the original 3 speed with a synchronized 3 speed from a 68 firebird and I’m concerned that the driveline isn’t straight or something is binding. Thanks

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Remember you don’t want it straight, you need a few degrees deflection (matching) on both universal joints. Thanks for the info SCOTI, nice to have recommendations!
