How rare is this driveshaft?

[Evan]

is it any worse then this

Hey that setup looks familiar.

 

[alaskan155]

what size joints does that shaft use, think it will bolt to the Np208 output yoke?

that a front explorer driveshaft mount rear in a B2

I'm not sure of the actual angles, but I know they're not even close just by looking at them.

Weird that's the stock type of driveshaft in my Ranger.

i am runing about 7"s of lift, a 4.0L m5ord and a 1354 with an 8.8 out back....the driveshaft angle looks horrible but i have yet to feel it bind and i have had it up to 65 mph on the highway and didn't feel to bad.

That's actually a stock shaft from an '83-84 Bronco2

It's less than desireable because of the Tiny U-joints, the half-moon yoke
front mating flange and the small centering ball in the Double cardan joint.

a MUCH better shaft to use is either one of the expen$ive aftermaket shafts
that uses a flat mating flange to the T-case

OR if you can deal with retrofitting a different companion flange onto your front diff
OR can swap the mating adapter on the single cardan end of the shaft, then the driveshaft used on a '95-96 Explorer sport is a FAR better choice as they use the larger MUCH more durable U-joints.

Though the explorer sport shaft will need to be shortened by 8" to work on an '88-90 Bronco2 (or an '85-up equipped with an A4LD) or By 10" to fit an '83-87 5sp Bronco2

I actually chopped one of them up a couple of weeks ago. No use to me and it was in my way!
