Drive shaft Question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Juztyn00 · 12-22-2005, 06:38 PM

ok finally have a 205 transfer case to replace my toasted 203. I have a 74 longbed k20 with a shackle flip in the rear. just wondering if theres any chance of the old driveshaft working or do i need to be hitting up junkyards for a new set of driveshafts? I'm replacing the front anyway the old CV is done... Anyone got a set?

Hi i just replaced my 203 on my 79 k5 and ran into a problem with my front driveshaft... Turns out that the output shaft on my new tcase isnt the same as the old one... I need to convert to a ujoint style front drive shaft... I have the old front driveshaft and it is in good shape if your interested gime a PM... Its the old cv style prolly just like yours... I have a 4" lift on mine and I ran that drive shaft on some moderate offroad trails and never had problems with it... Just leme know if your interested...
