Driveshaft swap
Got a question for the experts. I have a 1987 v6 man. 4wd B2 that i just blew the rear driveshaft out of. It is the CV type with no U-joints. I went to a junkyard and pulled a rear driveshaft out of an 88 v6 man. 4wd as a replacement. I noticed the one I got from the junkyard was a U-joint type. I went to go bolt it up and it's about 4 inches too short. I thought they were interchangeable? Any help or knowledge would be appreciated.

Uhh, it appears you have your answer--they are not interchangable.
Ford, and a lot of others from time to time, is not afraid to change stuff mid-year, every year, 3 times a year, whatever.
--go back and get a match
--go have one made
There may be a 3rd way to go here, but I'm too feeble of mind to imagine what that might be.....
