Does anyone know where I can purchase a new front driveshaft with the CV joint and U-joints in already? I trashed mine 4x4ing and destroyed the ball and socket piece so I figure I should just buy a whole new assembly. Thanks

They ain't easy to find! I managed to get mine out of a junk yard..sometimes they are easier to be rebuilt.

 

Jess at high Angle Driveline can get you a new one made up. Give him a call.

 

O'rileys auto parts has them. They got one to me in two days.

 

I've got one out of a gas truck, looks just like the diesel. I've got to match it up to be sure, but I'll keep it as a spare w/ new u-joints loaded and ready to go if it is.

 

HDBeauty, I see you're in Alberta too.
Give Pat's Driveline a shout http://www.patsdriveline.com/index.p...e/contact.html

 

Thanks guys>>I gave Pat's a call and I need to take my old one in because they don't have any part numbers on file for my year of truck....I will be taking it in this week. They seem really nice

 

I've had a LOT of work done by them over the years.
When I worked for the Dodge dealer here, we'd even send shafts over if the center ball was busted out.
They've even helped me out when I swapped the F-350 solid axle into my dad's F-250. Needed a new t-case flange and they had it the next day.

 

If it's from a truck with a Dana 44 front, its slightly longer, a cut and re-balance will fix that.
If it's from a Gasser with a 60 front and a 205 with an auto, it's the same length as the equivalent in a diesel.
Otherwise, the U-joint size on either, a diesel OR a gasser, is (usually) a 7260 and they use the same CV assembly and even the same spline counts on the slip yoke assembly.

Mark.

 

You got it...It's about 6" too long. Got to mark it, drop it off to have shortened.

 

There's one in the 1st gen classifieds.
