I have a 3 piece one on my long bed 85 toyota pick up and i want to get rid of it and put the one piece. will this one work? or is it to big? all the help is good! Thanks guys!

The flanges are different. It won't work without a driveling shop cutting and modding. Is it a lot larger in diameter?

yotaman804

its about twice the size in diameter. its off a 3/4 ton truck its like the size of a driveshaft that would be on a ford f250/350. I thought it would be better to have the bigger diameter because it would be stronger. Am i wrong?

no ideas guys????

Like was said above, you would need to have the flanges changed by a drive line shop so it would match your toyota flanges, otherwise it won`t bolt up. But my question to you is, do you really need a drive shaft that big ?, the stock toyota drive shaft is more than capable of doing its job.

but its the 3 piece one for the long beds.....all i've heard is bad things about those...are they strong for a rock crawler?

I have a two piece on my 84 long bed, its dented all over, still functions just fine.
