84 b2 drive shaft?

[ramput]

Broke off the lobes on the double carden, not sure if it is the original rear drive shaft so am wondering witch years b2 and rangers I can swap from the junk yard? Would appreciate any help.

you should be able to swap it from any B2 with the same tranny. the ranger shafts are longer as i remember. i think that any other double carden shaft out of a b2 will fit. for instance my 84 has a 4 speed and so does my 86 and ive swaped the shafts befor with out any problems.

Do you happen to have a pic of your driveshaft? C5 obviously isn't stock, do you know what transfer case you have or is it 2wd?

Still looking for a cheap replacement if anyone has one laying around?

I still got mine man, I have to make double sure it's the same. I am not familiar with the auto B2's at all & don't want to send you the wrong d/s. Soon as I find out I will send you a p.m.

Maybe I am wrong...anybody know if the 84 B2 came with a C5 auto & does it use the same driveshaft as the 5 spd? I know nothing at all about the auto B2's.

C3 and C5 were available in 84. Pretty sure it's a different length, but easy enough to check with a tape measure...

Thank you fastpakr, I never knew about the C5....I learn something new everyday.
