Getting there, slowly

down to need to get a drive shaft built, bleeding the brakes and firing it up, bed wood, interior (that can wait I guess).

Who are you using to have the DS built? Steel or aluminum?

not sure, maybe TAD Drive Shaft in North Phoenix, probably just a steel one. Going to call them today and see if they can do it, if they have the slip yokes etc. for a C6 and ford 9"

I was going to use Denny's Driveshaft. Lots of good reviews on them. I got lucky though and can reuse the one in there already after I upgraded to the independent rear.

Be interesting to see how much it will cost, but, it's irrelevant as I need one or I'm not going anywhere. I've got a lot left to do, but not much really just to drive it while I'm doing interior, bed wood, etc. I have a lot of other projects that slow me down too, besides the endless flow of $$$. Still need to fire the engine, and see whats whats, I'm sure there will be leaks, and this and that I'll need to take care of..been a long road (about 2 years) and I need to see it done soon or it'll be on craigslist! Lol
