Rear drive shaft
I have a 1990 pickup single cab that i just installed a 5" TG sas kit on the front and rear. I built a tube drive shaft for the front but my rear is to short also, does anyone have any advice on what i should. I am trying not to have one built because i dont have the money??? the rear is about two inches to short. Are the rear on different truck different lengths??Any advice Thankful!!!!

i believe the long bed had the double cardon longer shaft but I don't know about the ext cab's. 4crawler has driveshaft measurements there, you might wanna look at them, or search around here and see what others have done as well.

My 88 reg. cab long bed has a one-piece. Measures 49.5" weld-to-weld. I know that off-hand because I've had to replace it 2 times already. I'm thinking that would be a little long for what your needing. What's the length on yours from weld-weld?
He do? Show me, I no can find.

Dunno? Never actually seen one in real life yet. Wait maybe I have, but I can't recall what model or year it was on.

nm I coulda swore the shaft lengths were on this page, but I guess I was wrong, they only mention angles. http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTri...l#Introduction

I can tell ya that the 1-piece driveshafts for many of the Toyota pickups 2 and 4 wheel drive that I've seen are pretty similar in construction. Meaning you can usaully mix and match slip yokes, u-joints and flanges to suit your needs. They usually have different bolt hole patterns on the flanges though. But there's ways to make that work too. Triple-drilled flanges for the diff & t-case. Or just putting the flanges from your original shaft on the donor shaft. All the u-joints are interchangeable, which makes doing that real easy. Atleast that's always proved true for me anyways.
Here's a 1 vs. 2 piece for reference.
