Rust on Driveshaft

How much will rust on the driveshaft for my four wheel drive weaken it. It has some pitting in it. I have a truck pull coming up, will it be ok or will it snap like a twig? Thanks

It should be ok, you can wire brush/clean it up and paint it to prevent more rust.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!
