Replacement driveshaft question. Picture added
had my wife pick up a replacement driveshaft for my 86 bronco II.
Had the gkn, found a double cardan off a 87 at the salvage yard.
I measured the length of the gkn while it was still on mine, asked him to do the same, flange to flange, to make sure it would work.
Long story short, I pull a drive shaft out of a box that has the correct flange on one end, the "big" end, and nothing on the other end. Just the last u joint and four smaller threaded holes.
My question is, what part do I need, or , what is it called.
Is it something I'm going to be able to get at the parts store or is this going to be a wonderful salvage yard scavenge hunt.
It makes me want to bite the head off of a kitten when I have to deal with oblivious morons. I want to drive to the guys house and knock on his door and throw a huge glass of ice water in his face, and ask him if that helped wake him up. I guess you could call that Bronco Rage. ha. We had a five minute conversation about what I was doing, what parts I needed etc, etc. You cant tell me he grabbed that off the shelf, boxed it up, and it never occured to him that the flange was missing off one end.
Thanks for your help in advance.
