I've read that you can replace the cv style drive shaft with a u-joint drive shaft in a bronco 2 as long as it's the same length (autos have the cv, manuals have the u joint, either single or double?). My question is that the cv shaft can compress or expand, but how does the u-joint shaft do this, or isn't it necessary?

it's always necessary to have some flex in the length of the shaft. The U-joint shaft will do it by a slip-joint in the middle of the shaft.

Mine was an auto and came with u-joints so look at those also don't forget different tranny's are different lengths make sure you get the same length drive line.

Thanks guys I saw that post shortly after it appeared, but the link was dead. I found it on BII.org and figured it would still be easier to get a factor u joint shaft that fits from a BII and pop it in place rather than messing around with two or three shafts and a grinder. But, this would be fine if you had acess to all the parts. I really appreciate the input, heres a good link.http://broncoii.org/forum/index.php?topic=926.0
