Front Axle Shaft

Hey guys. So over the weekend I ended up breaking a u joint then the axle shaft where it connects to the u joint in my 72 F-100. I have had a hell of a time trying to find axle shafts for it, they all seem to be for later models.

Take it to a drive shaft shop, see if he can put a new yoke on it.

Maybe ebay was is the out axle or inner. Have you tried Jeff's graveyard Bronco's. Pirate 4x4. Thiers a lot of sources on the net just have to do the right search. Hope your not in a big hurry as it may take a while to locate it if you don't want to pay top dollar.. You must of had a bad axle u-joint for this to happen.

I've been searching around. Its inner and outer. I was more wondering about the compatibility with other Dana 44s or the era.

Thanks for the bronco graveyard tip. I must have missed it in my search. These have F100 listed so I'm hoping they are correct.

Bill posted your best search tool as he's listed the axle lengths & teeth count. So check all the sites for these specs.
What you should do now is rebuild the complete front end plus put in new inner axles seals check ring & pinion bearing and new yoke seal. Look at the inners spindle bearing also. Maybe go with hardened Gforce axles..
