s10 swappers......driveshaft advice!!!!

Hey guys,

Need some advice. What are you guys using for a drive shaft. Are you going to a single driveshaft or are you cutting down the stock intermediate driveshaft. I measured today and I need a 60inch driveshaft. Does anyone know what if any GM product has a 60 inch driveshaft?? Any help would be great.

thanks

Re: s10 swappers......driveshaft advice!!!!

might need to get one cut to fit. and made to your size with the proper new u-joints. the one for mine i just got my aluminum one off a full size 88-98 chevy truck, had it cut down and balanced for 75 bucks.

had another one made out of steel from scratch with new u-joints for 135 for a different project.

not sure what would be closest to your size though, theres just a litte to run through.

Wow, $75 for an aluminum cut down?!! Mine was $202. I could get a new steel one for the same price but didn't know it until I picked it up...my bad. I guess I'll be doing some more shopping around in the future.
