Topic: rear shaft to front question?

[SQUIRREL MONSTER]

as im looking to get a new 1 peice shaft for the rear of the truck, i was looking at the 2 rear d-shafts that compose the driveline and was wondering if the rear portion of it would fit the front?? i looked at it closely and seems like its the same pattern and would bolt up ok    has anyone tried this or know if it works?? i know its not a cv jointed shaft but at my current state, its better then what is on the front at the moment

Thats what I used to build my square front shaft.  My 2x truck had a two piece rear d-line so I used the rear half for parts.  Worked out great.

so the rear shaft flanges bolted up to the front ok? ill investigate this further once i replace the rear shafts. thanks!

If your putting the cv in the rear you'll have to either re-drill the flanges to have the correct bolt patterns or just do as I did and swap the flanges front to back.

damn, now i need to go play around with it and weigh in my options   guess that means laying on the ground and stare off onto the bottom of my truck
