    I figured i would just buy or find a 8inch or so diameter pipe and have someone cut me off about 2 inches or so , then weld some bars on there and bolt it up to the truck.

    later,

    if not that jeggs sells them for like $27, which is where i got mine. but you have to extend the "arms" out a little to meet the frame rails of your truck.

    I got the shaft on friday, i called friday morning and ds unlimited had it done in less than two hours. that was really fast,

    i'm going to wait and put it in until i can get the rearend yoke checked out, so it's motorcycle time again, doh.

    i should have it in tuesday, if there is no damage to the yoke, if so, i'll go buy a HD one then it will be in wednesday,

    i'll take pics later,

    M3 beemer with my 1967 Chevy Impala with a 350 that ran 13's. I was going about 95 when BOOM the u-joints busted. Sounded like someone was taking a jackhammer to my undercarriage!!!!!Get a loop
