I don't think I'll have to worry about pulling the front shaft apart, ever again.
Notice the groove cut. It's for the weld inside the 2 1/2", I shoulda used receiver tube. About $15 for 2 ft. at the steel yard. I didn't know.
WT, no need for the 1 1/2". I got impatient, built with what i had. If you sent it already though, I'll weld up a half and modify this one to use it.
I'm going to drill the rear output flange for dual hookup. U-joint or CV. That way, if I have to bolt the front on the rear for emergency, I can.
Next project is to remount my steering box. I just noticed today, one of the inserts thru the frame is busted loose.
