Default aluminum driveshaft for Silverado?
My 04 Silverado (short bed/short cab) has the stock steel drive shaft. Did GM ever make an aluminum drive shaft that I could direct swap into my truck or would I need to have one built? If so, info please...

My 2001 Silverado 4x4 extended cab has an all aluminum driveshaft. It's amazingly light.

Do you have the single cab, short bed?? If so then you can get one made from Denny's. I had one made for my truck. The cost is kinda steep but worth it for high speeds. Some people on here use the stocker but I had one made.
