Anyone running a single piece driveshaft?

Ahh thats like my 81 Fullsize Blazer

Yeah exactly. Wonder what fords reasoning was behind that?

How's a crewcab longbed configured?

I have a one piece and also swepted to the 1480 yokes because I kept blowing my two piece apart sled pulling.

Id give High angle drive line a call, there very good at what they do. Im sure they could shed some light on the subject.

Im running one on my truck. I havent had any issues with it. Theres a shop ab 5 mins from my dads house that makes them. I got mine back same day. Ended up making good friends with the guy and he didnt charge me for shafts on other projects. He ended up making me a few PTO style shafts for a couple offroad projects i was working on.

I'm currently looking to convert my 06 to solid rear shaft. Where are parts available to convert the tcase to slip yolk output? Stock or aftermarket? I'm interested in the 1480 parts actually. Are those Spicer parts? Do we have to change the tcase extension housing as well?

no one is changing all of that
this is still referred to as a 1 piece

Ask Eric Clausen about the drive lines he got from them....

Is there typically a max length that can be used, or would that be up to the shop building it? I have a CCLB, that had a ZF6, but I'm swapping in a BTS E4OD, and it has the slip joint on the t-case, so maybe I could just run a one piece.

What was his experience like, I've never really seen anything bad about high angle.

 

[Dzchey21]

the drive shaft they built him was only intended on running like 20mph, it was an industrial shaft not meant for high speed

 

[Dzchey21]

good question, that i can not answer

Dustin was responding to my question that I deleted. Since he responded, I'll throw it back out...

Did they (high angle driveline) know what the application was?

Only reason I ask, is they made me a great driveshaft years ago for my bronco.
