Had a little problem the other day. Took the top off, pulled the back seat out, and spitshined the ole '79 for a night out, but when I mashed the loudpedal I spun the splines right out of the driveshaft!! Talk about a bummer. Locked her into four hi and limped home. My question is, where can I get a new one made up without breaking the bank?

Oh by the way, I was forced to take the '01 superduty PSD out that night. Bummer ;-);-)

We bought a new shaft from #####'s in AZ;

Beside your your local yards, try this site for a national junkyd. site;

Besides Broncos, I always wondered if a 4x4 pup shortbed shaft can be used, intact or by shortening, which would be cheaper than a new shaft.
Good luck!

 

Thanks for the link's, I hadn't thought about a shortbed shaft. I think part of the problem is I never had it lengthened after the lift. That might just do the trick.
