I wish I could, but I’m about to graduate here in a few weeks, and school’s busting my hump. We could split it, but that’s been there since January. You don’t think it’s a skeleton by now? What all do you need?

 

[The88]

Would love another hard top to cut for a summer top, drivers door/fender, cheap drive shaft.... Hell I can probably find use of a lot of an entire donor. Just to keep it out of the crusher

I came across that this afternoon. I was considering messaging to see if they have a rear drive shaft as well. I don't want to come off of $500 for a custom shaft.

Does yours still have the 10 bolt rear axle? Best bet is to find short or longbed driveshaft for next to nothing, take it to a driveline shop and have it cut and balanced, then it's cheap.

 

[The88]

Yep still rocking the 10 bolt.

I am pretty sure I could get one at the local Pull A Part.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get to Wesson to see about that Wee O Five Jesse has for my K5 since I'm certain I can make it run. If I get that way, I have at least 2 long bed 2wd shafts I can bring 1 that the rear joint will fit yours rear axle. Then all you have to due is cut it down and put a 32 spline yoke on it, or if you just want it for a spare, take the yoke off of yours and put on it.

 

[The88]

Yeah my slip yolk is trashed but thats cool. I am pretty sure I can pick one up for next to nothing.

And to have a spare is always a plus. If you make your way down south let me know.

 

[HotRodPC]

I'll let you know for sure. Spare drive shafts and axle shafts are always a good idea to have spares of for a 4x4 especially if you're doing any kind of wheeling. I have a spare front shaft but I'm keeping that guy. It'll fit both my K10/20 and the K5 as well 2 spare sets of front axle shafts. Being 10 bolt fronts I'll be keeping the complete spare axles for the shafts and carriers.

 

[The88]

Yeah I have heard that a time or 2 about band aides for the 10 bolt.

I have been looking for what ever I can get my hands on for the dark days. Only times I come across anything I am sitting on boat and they are gone by the time I get home.

Ahhh the life of an oil field hand.

Would a cut burban shaft work?

I'd sure think so. Just so long as it's longer than the K5 shaft and K5 being the shortest out of all the squares, should work fine. And that one comes with the right yoke too.

 

[The88]

that is what i was thinking. I think at 85 bucks can't go wrong....well unless if I can't get it cut down.
