Drive shaft
Good evening Chaps,
what would be my best bet : I have a '92 F350 460 crew cab dually cuurently with automatic (04od ?) and i have everything required to do the swap but the drive shaft. Should i be still looking for a unicorn laying around a scrap yard or have a skilled welder/drive shaft specialist do one for me? Going at the dealer is not an option (unless some one tells me it is not that bad..) Also , any of you may know a place (SYard) where to get one??
Thx

Are you trying to say E4OD? You neglected to tell us what you are swapping. Are you converting to 4wd , a different automatic trans or manual transmission?
See if you can find a local driveshaft shop to make one or you can use an online company like Denny’s.

Yeah E4OD. Going (baught it already) with a ZF5 2wd from a donor with all the required jewelry (p plate, clutch, slave cyl, etc...). Thanks for the Denny's heads-up.

You can look at the junkyard, but i have a place near me where i have them made. After removing the ujoints, i slide the yoke into the transmission to where the it looks like i usually rides( seal wear spot close to seal). Then measure from center of ujoint there to center of ujoint on rearend. Take the old driveshaft to my guy and give him the specs. 120 bucks later and i have the right length.
Typically, any good driveline shop can do this.

I generally use Tom Wood's Drivelines (online, really easy to deal with, never gotten a bad part, *might* pay a little more, but their customer service is worth it.) The local driveline shops here, you've practically got to beg them to do any actual work for "light truck" or car stuff, and I just refuse to pay them for that kind of bulls*&t. If you've got a good local driveline shop, you're lucky folks, and I definitely encourage you to give them your hard earned money.
