i also agree on buying one. you can borrow mine if you need it.
so the shaft that i got sent is overall about 7/8"s too long. The splines are about 2" long. I was thinking about cutting about 1/2" off the inner and 3/8" off the stub so that it would sit correctly in the knuckle. What do you guys think? Should i do that or take 7/8ths off the inner?
7/8's off the inner, if you chop off the stub your hubs won't go back together or find the right shaft.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
I got them from a guy on fullsize bronco. If i take 7/8ths off will it still fit into the carrier?
assuming it doesn't kneck up after the splines. never cut a stub. it has a machined lip at the end a c-clip goes. as long as it is a ford stub i believe it is the same. is it the same size as your old stub

I had the carrier out at the dexter house 3 weeks ago but i didn't really look inside the carrier.
when i measured my broken long side it measured about 34"from the tip to the center of the u-joint cap. That's what this site says it should be

Notice how the earlier model trucks shafts were about an inch longer. Thats what i think this new shaft is

why not find the correct shaft... sounds like a better plan to me

What ever you do, make sure that the center of the u-joint is going through the center of the kingpins/balljoints. If it is out of line, it is going to bind up when you turn and cause problems.
