I have been looking for a part number for swapping to a 1 piece factory drive shaft to no avail. I’ve called a couple dealers and they can’t provide one either.

truck is a 05 qc lwb g56. I’ve either been told custom shaft for over $900 or the factory shaft for less than half? But since it’s a lwb qc I can’t find it. Anyone have the factory part number? From the flange to the t case is 81 inches which seems shorter than the 85 I seem to find listed.

 

An OE shaft may not exist for your truck. 2-piece is generally a more rugged setup.

A quick googling says these guys can make one:

It seems a popular swap from a later model mega cab, but have yet to see a factory part number for my type (qc lwb g56). Was hoping for a factory number since they seem to be about half the cost of a custom made one.

 

The length difference is likely auto vs stick.

 

I went with

Driveshaft Specialist one piece 5 in drive shaft after i lifted the truck 2 in front 3inch rear could not keep a carrier bearing in it after 3 times I called Driveshaft Specialist and they told me were to take dimension's at and when i got it worked prefect been happy ever since I know you said custom was not what you wanted but sometimes its the best way to go
