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.

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

I may have one too, how long is it?

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

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.

Yeah I have one it in bad condition, I'll be hitting pick & pull this weekend to find something. Thanks for the help Blackedoutharley sent you a PM.

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
