My credo
Doing things wrong, until I get it right.
Over on another forum, a guy has got stumped. LS swapped Nissan hardbody Idk the transmission of the top of my head. But he can't find a yoke to mate his driveshaft to his rear end. I think he's going with the Nissan shaft. I mentioned for him to try the ford or Chevy shaft because the ls->ford mateing is probably more common than the chevy->nissan->ford combo he's running.

IMHO call Dennys Driveshaft or Tom Woods and have one made.

I priced one for mine and it was like $330 a couple years ago. I have $150 + tax in mine having it altered at the local driveshaft shop and it still ain't right.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
I had a machine shop build mine. I gave him the length measurement and what I wanted to use for U joints and he built it from scratch for about $250.
