Need driveshaft for 65 LWB,
Need to get driveshaft for my 65 LWB, what years can I use if I can't find one from a 65. Thanks for any help.

Re: Need driveshaft for 65 LWB,
Does your truck have the 2 piece driveline? If so, I may have one if you don't mind driving into town for it.

Re: Need driveshaft for 65 LWB,
Do you have one at all right now? If you know of what length and ujoints you need, many driveline shops can make a new one for an afordable price.
Then again, a good price on a used one works as well

Re: Need driveshaft for 65 LWB,
For an even more affordable price, you could measure for the U-joint size and overall length you need and then take your tape measure to your friendly local salvage yard. I have been able to get at least 90% of my driveshafts that way.

I would not waste my time at pick n pulls, they forklift the trucks and bend every driveshaft, I looked for one in there for 2 years, just find a good old wreckers and take a look, I had a drive shaft made new with my old ends for 175$ at a local drive line shop
