I have a custom rear driveshaft in my '85 Toy. The previous owner built this rig, so I have no idea what type of shaft was used. I am thinking of calling High Angle Driveline & getting them to rebuild it or build a new one.
Or can I just replace the flanges, U-joints & bolt the old one back in? The shaft itself doesn't seem to be damaged besides some road rash.

Is the shaft bent?????? If its not don't take it to a shop go to a junk and get the flanges, and buy new u-joints

Jess at High Angle Driveline has it now (or will when it arrives next week)

Ya I heard they do good stuff


Good luck

I needed a better setup for my rig & heard good things so he got the call.

i did that on my 78 f150, broke the joint same way you did only mine was on the slip shaft at my t-case, i just replaced the u-bolts and joints, still running like that.

I wasn't sure if I bent the shaft. If it is a minor fix like that it will save me some money, probably have Jess make me a trail spare while he has it.

The t-case end and flange is toyota. The axle end looks like 1310 spicer and what is that a toyota 9"? Did I get it right?

I think you're right on the spicer, but the rear is a ford 9".
