I wanted to reply on this drive shaft issue the other day but time wouldn't allow. I was able to have a completed new drive shaft built here in Dallas for a little over $100. The more I trolled the wrecking yards looking for the right shaft the more it seemed clear to me that those lots might be a good place to find some parts but not drive shafts. Salvage yards tend to move vehicles around using fork lifts and when they do they bend the shafts. Also with so many cars build with no drive shafts the pickings are small. But at $100 I saved myself a lot of time and gas money as well.
