That thought hadn't ocurred to me. As if White Fang was sacred. I think I had it replaced in the Late '90s, after the front universal broke on Ina Road about 3 miles from my house. The prop shaft was digging into the road. Either I got towed home, or the front prop shaft was pulled roadside and I taxiied home slow. Dillon-Precision* rebuilt it. For about $150~? [*different outfit]
The Sub has an NP205 Xfer Case but the front end is the earlier Dana 44 with closed knuckles and drum brakes. The Prop Shafts might be the same. I don't remember if the configuration was the same. Might have been 23 to 27 years ago and in a hurry by the roadside at night. So my recollections are not the keenest.
This one [on the Jimmy] seemed to have different terminations, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, worth a look, once this spell of February bitterness blows away.
