Help : Need Driveshaft Slip Joint Replacement
I have a 1997 F350 7.3L Long bed, dual wheel, Crew cab.
The drive shaft broke: the slip joint shaft (the part in the carrier bearing)
fractured(exploded)
. There is no way to get the broken stub(it is fractured into several pieces) out of the spline and I need to find replacement parts.

BTW this happened on gravel with about 300-400# in the bed and at IDLE.
My left foot slipped off the clutch...with my right foot on the brake.
Now I have a front wheel drive 2x6....E3500

It must have been weak to begin with. That should have just stalled the truck.

If your local drive line guys can't help you out, hit the internet! Search for wholesalers because they can be cheaper than the dealerships. It's helped my wallet in the past. I did a quick search and came up with Blue Springs Ford Parts.
Good luck with the 2x6.
