I am in need of a Rear drive shaft for my 83 Dodge Ramcharger, the old one got twisted out and i am having a hard time finding a replacement for it down here in gulfport. I do not have the money to go get one made either.
You drive it on the street? If not, make one out of square tubing. Easy to replace and repair.
i would do that but i do not have the means to do so and the angle of the axle is turned down and if i put tubing on it would bind up an break off anyways. The other issue is that the ramchargers rear end is designed to move alot so it needs a yoke to move in and out.

that's what U-joints are for

use two different sizes of square stock, one that nests inside the other. put a few grease fittings on the exterior tube. voila!! instant slip yoke!!
ha seems someone dont know about square tube driveshafts
i wish i had a way to do this. To bad im a dummy
