I don't think I've ever seen a 4-piece driveshaft before. Maybe it's offset like that for a reason. I don't think that they're supposed to be exactly in-line thru the u-joints.
That is a nice bus.

Looks good to me! It'll stay underneath where it's dark and hard to see blemishes. I thought the furniture in my house looked great till we moved and I saw it outside in the sunlight.

What is the reason for the driveshaft to be so crooked in multiple planes?
It looks like it would shake the bus apart.

It looks wild but all the pieces have a reciprocal angle from output / each other / pinion angle. My 2 piece one ton Chevy is similar, looks funny, runs smooth!
