I just watched a spider dominate a fly on the wall outside, i thought would would travis do? and i did the opposite, spider lives!
ya but the shaft you have could be broken and the remaining inch be stuck in the carrier. You would be surprised how cleanly the splined portion of a shaft can break off like that.
for instance here is a d-30 shaft that twisted and broke leaving an inch stuck in the carrier.

Yep, I have seen machine work not look as good.
My bitch better have my money...
Through rain, sleet, or snow...
My whore better have my money...
Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
just checked and the splined portion on the new and old shafts and they are identical. The end of the old shaft is not damaged.

then maybe you don't have a 79 axle under it? any applications that someone knows about that would be an inch shorter?
The inner axle seals are apparently different between truck and bronco housings of the same vintage so maybe the shafts are a c*nt hair different too.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
They shouldn't be different, the only thing I can think of would be that the shaft is from a 76 or 77 model that had welded on wedges not cast. Call Clayton and ask to just go look at the set he has. I know for a fact that they came from a bronco78-79 Dana 44 because I pulled them myself.
He who dies with the most **** wins, after seeing your collection you are in the lead no doubt!
Karl, you bringing the mini bike?
I do not own a mini bike, I own a Honda XL100R. I will not be bringing this.

i think i may sell my bronco and get a 92-96 one. Yes i'll get ttb (i heard its not that bad) but i'll get way more reliability too.
