try brazos valley out on 2818, I know he can balance it as well. I don't remember it being that much when I was building the scout.

Not to hijack, but I need my rear shaft shortened, about how much would it be at BVD? What do ya'll mean by retubing?

It means saving the old yokes and installing new tube between them.Originally posted by JBrown89

They reuse your old flanges and install a new driveshaft tube to connect them. If you just need your shortened then they can just cut and re-weld one end and you should be able to get off a little cheaper.

i took it to bvd. they quoted me $110. plus like 20 for a computer spin balance. i should get it back tomorrow afternoon.
I had mine shortened and the CV greased up for $46. If they shortened it and rebuilt the CV, it was $105. Not bad.

Not to beat a dead horse, but did you get a shaft retubed Dan? I ask because I need my rear shaft lengthened and I'm trying to figure out where the best (cheapest) place would be to take it. I figure I come up to CS anyway, I can bring a shaft up with me to get cheaper work done to it.
yeah I did. now it is bright blue too!I think the total came to around $150, with the computer spin balance and they replaced at least one of the u-joints too. I got it back in a day or two as well. I would go to them again if I needed anything else.
i dunno how close you come to Seguin when you come up to CS, but i've had mine retubed at Seguin Alternator and Drivetrain twice, and shortened there when i put the 60 in the back....pretty good job as far as i can tell, and its shiny when you get it back. if you call ahead of time they'll do it while you wait. it was only like $45 to get it retubed and like $75 when they shortened it b.c. i had them put the bigger yoke on it to fit the 60.
After the July 4th alto trip, I am forced to do some work on the rear drive shaft. I was thinking of having BVD or Bryan Drivetrain build me one. How can I go about getting the correct measurements for them to do it, or will it be best to just take the truck there and let them do it. Either way, I will wait till the 60/70 get put in, and may have them make a front for it also.

if your not gonna have it done in waco. id say order one from longview driveshaft. ive had one of theres and one from bvd and i liked longviews much better.
non highway use, make your own. take your yokes to the steel yard and find a piece of pipe that works. Take a measurement at ride height and allow about 2" of compression
