Ive got a 90 extracab that I bought without a rear driveshaft. The previous owner torched off the bracket that holds the mid bearing claiming that he was running a one peice driveshaft. From flange to flange it measures out to 64 inches, Is there any drive shafts out there that would fit this or will I need to have one custom made. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

Why not just get a new toy 2 piece drive shaft. I was just under there messing with the mid bearing and its easy to get and replace. You could also just weld the bracket back.

 

just put a 1 piece driveline in it and yes you will have to have it custom made.

if you ever plan on lifting it the 1 piece will be better.

 

you will find a one piece toyota drive shaft that will fit from a longbed toyota. Good luck finding one as well. I would recommend fixing the cross member and just getting a two piece.

 

okay so when i go to have one custom made do they lengthen a donor driveshaft or make one from scratch?

 

If I were you'd I'd just get a custom one piece shaft with a double cardigan joint on the t-case side and you'll be good to go. I know some places can make them from scratch for you however it will be much cheaper if you bring them a donor to work with.

 

Bring them a stock rear one, tell them you want it one piece, and the right length flange to flange.. They'll get it made for you with a new slip joint and tube..
