John is there not a truck shop near you that can lengthen your existing drive shaft? It would be a TON cheaper.

I'll prolly do that too ... for a back up ... :biggthumpup:

But for now ... this was good and that way I can take my new one and my spare and say "need it like this" ... Confusedmokin:

Plus I already ordered it and I'm trying to justify my spending ... :hysterical:

Let me know if you can find someone local. I looked around Savannah for a willing victim to extend/shorten my d.shafts and came up empty, back when I swaped in my Np435. Confusedcratchhe:

Everything worked great ... 2 1/2" lift, degreed radius arm bushings, new driveshaft, new PS pump, new C-bushings and new harmonic balancer and pulleys ... :biggthumpup:

Also added a stainless steel flex radiator hose to the top of the Radiator ... And a 400 watt kicker to my CB ... Confusedmokin:

Got my spare axle out of the D44 layin in the yard and put a fresh U-joint in there and put the Bronco back together and got it off the trailer this morning.:xyxthumbs:

Having a problem with the front axle being centered so Chuck sold me his adjustable Trac bar which will go in this week ... also got a few loose ends to tighten up some elec. stuff and a oil leak behind the harmonic balancer ... also had a small leak in the radiator hose ...:banghead:

Monday I got a twin stick from Wild Horses ... :toothy12:


Might could possibly be a decent rock rig soon... :rubeyes:
