Buying New Driveshafts

[mengbar]

Any body have any suggestions for a fellow getting ready to buy new driveshats for a 1978 Bronco. I have a 400M engine, C6, NP205, and factory gearing (3.5 :1). Looking for a good source with good balanced shafts. What line does the Broncograveyard carry (have they gone the Dana route to china tubes?)

First, if you have the $$$, upgrade to the '79 drive shafts as they have a larger, stronger U-Joint then the '78's. You would have to change the output yoke on the transfer case and input yokes on the 3rd member. I believe the fronts did not change from '78 to '79, but may be wrong. I know the 3rd memeber yoke you can get out of a junkyard, the T-Case yoke you may be able to pick up from Broncograveyard. I have heard mixed reviews about the driveshafts from BGY. I would check with your local speed shops or off road stores and ask them. This is how I found the guy that rebuilt my driveshafts, and I have been happy with his work, even refered him to my friends.
