Default New driveshaft is in!

Well I'm starting to make progress now. The 3.73s and eaton posi went in last week and today I installed my new driveshaft to keep'em spinning. I ordered from Driveshaft Specialist in San Antonio and went all out. The factory ujoints on my truck were already 1350s so I kept the same size but went from the OE 3" steel shaft to a MASSIVE 5" x .125 wall aluminum monster. I have to give these guys props, this thing looks great, fit perfect and because of the 5500rpm balance it's smooth as silk. BTW-I ordered it mid-day Thursday and had it just after noon today.

Pics for your viewing pleasure.
