Brief Explanation: I recently dicovered that a 1354 front driveshaft looked a lot like one of my B2 driveshafts. So I measured them out, and they were the same.After my wreck , which destroyed my extra driveshaft, I decided to build a new one. Thanks to Ranger SVT and Asdm for having the parts that I needed and SVT for extra advice.

Install in truck.

Its been a great little driveshaft. I'm even running it with F150 springs in back.
If you were to go to the JY and buy these pieces seperately. It would cost around 150 dollars.

I posted this in the tech library submission forum too.

It is currently working fine for me, but any feedback would be appreciated.
