does anyone has an idea where I can buy a new driveshaft for a 1949 chevy 3100 1/2 ton?
During transport to Europe, somebody lifted the truck with a forklift and hit the driveshaft.
So the transport insurance will pay for it in case I need it. I do not know if it is bend a bit now and will figure it out later.
I just need a pricequote now.
Thank you for your help.
Michael

Shipping is not a problem from the US but I am surprised that you can not get that part new. Since most of the other parts are available.
Just need a pricequote for now for the insurance but if it really is not straight I will check the swap forum.
Thanks again! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | Do you have a torque tube drive or driveshaft with a U-joint at each end?
