you need to use 2" reciever tube. wont bend. and easy to make if you can weld. another thing is how are you goin to get it to slip, i doubt you have the ability to spline your own shafts....

Thinking of choping a shaft and just replacing the tube part. Keeping the original slip yoke and u-joints.

That would be a delicate job keeping it all centered and balanced. Sounds cool though take pics!

Even my jack is GM. 
I have seen people use hose clamps to ballance there driveshaft.
I guess the just move the clamp around untill it stoped vibrating.
I just got lucky with keeping it stright. |

Come on Johnny, everyone knows you can't use plastic pipe for a driveshaft. A rollbar ok, but not a driveshaft.
