Older trucks used steel and were good for as far as you could push the truck. the trick is finding close enough shaft length.
Did you drag race the truck or do burnouts often?
I just replaced my OEM aluminum shaft with OEM steel. 99-06 rclb used aluminum rcsb used steel and is about half the diameter.
