At the monthly club meeting Monday the subject of custom driveshafts came up. After I left I thought to myself I should have taken notes as it was good information on vendors and experiences with them.

So where to go and who to avoid when getting custom driveshafts made?

I haven't priced em lately, but I paid $300 for mine from Tom Woods eight years ago.

I finally tore the boot on it at Slade last April. That let enough junk into the splines that it seized up. Took it apart and cleaned it up, and it's back in service.

Can't ask for much more than that.

I've never purchased a aftermarket shaft. Always build my own but drive line 1 in columbus does alot of work for the guys in my group and I've had them balance the ones I've built

Find what I need in the junkyard and machine it to fit.

Haven't not been able to make something work yet.

But I'm not running a high hp motors with 40+ tires either
