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.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1972 F100 4WD - Parts List # 172:
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..

Just remembered!
Pirate 4x4 has many vendors that give like a 10% discounts.
I got the best deal from Rock Auto for a complete harden axles u-joints. After being jacked around by another company for a month. Rockauto shipped in 3 days.
