How'd you do with the comet/dishsoap method? I haven't done much to the Shorty lately...I had to pause to get front and rear drivershafts made. The front required a bigger u-joint and the grease seal was splitting so I figured I'd replace it-then, I sold the rest of the K20 truck I was parting but forgot to pull the rear driveshaft-I needed it because the TC I have requires a 2-joint shaft instead of a 1-piece...oops. So, either way, I went ahead and had my local powertrain shop build a new rear shaft for me. So, updates with pics when I pick up my new shafts!
