Yeah, I think that is what it is called. It sure looks like a phone booth.
$ 218.00, with tax. Not bad, considering I had nothing to start with, so they had to supply all the yokes, u joints, tube, etc. and it is ready to install.
I am heading over to the shop now to make sure it fits. My Son says I am crazy to paint it, as you never see one inch of it, and they did spray it black. I'll have to see once it is in place.

Don, that's a neat truck the driveline shop owner made. Outside the box, but cool.

Yep, I agree Duane.
I just got back from installing the driveshaft, and it actually fits fine. I have mismeasured one or two in the past, so I always hold my breath. I think I am going to leave it black. No reason to put the relatively expensive orange paint on something that will never be seen. They seem to have done a pretty good black job on it, and when I look at it more tomorrow I will probably still feel it is ok.
I'm still getting blurry pictures with the new camera. Have to read the instruction manual and see what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I need a tripod. But here is the driveshaft in all it's blurry glory.

Actually, Don, I think the black drive shaft looks good. Goes with the overall color scheme, matching the frame and breaking up the orange trans and orange rear.Duane S

Yeah Ken, I think he said he has been working on it since '98. Wonder how much aluminum he has bought in that time? I guess it runs already, because he said the little 2.8 will light up the tires.

No need for a tripod Don, Just hold yer hands a little more steady.
I also agree that black looks better on the drive shaft.

It would be nice if this up and down crap would cease.
