I have an 88 Ford ranger 2.9 L super cab 4x4. The truck has been lifted excessively and is in desperate need of the one piece drive shaft swap. Locally I have not been able to source one. I found one in a salvage yard in Phoenix (about 150 miles away) out of a 2003 ranger, 4x4, extended cab...

I feel that it's a great deal because it only had 89k miles on it. It's still hooked up in the truck...
