drive shaft interchange
Hey guys, I have a 1987 BII 4x4 with the A4LD. It has the CV shaft in the rear and it's in bad shape. I also have a 1985 4x4 with the 5 speed. I'm wondering if the driveshafts will interchange? The reason I'm asking is the 85 has not been driven for about 3 years and the weeds are almost as tall is the truck..lol..so I'd rather not crawl under it unless I know there is a chance it will work. Thanks,
Jerry

If you're rough and tough on it at all, I would say get one made for it. I had this done back in April, and it's really nice, I paid $660 for it and only $45 of it was labor. But I also have a warranty that the guy that made it gave me, and it was black powdercoated and everything, he machined it himself, but thats what I recommend IMO.

If both have the GKN style driveshaft then it will work. There was 2 different driveshafts that were used on the BII, Spicer and GKN style, and throughout 85-90 the GKN was used, but the Spicer style was also used on 85-86. So if the 85 out in the field has the same look as the other, then they will fit. The Spicer style looks a little different from the other. This only applies to 4wd though, on the 2wd they're all the GKN style.
