Default FS: built driveshaft for ext cab NNBS/80e

I'm selling the drive shaft I had custom made by Western Differential in Tucson, AZ for my 4L80e swapped GMT900 extended cab. It is built with .085" wall 3" DOM steel and has 1350 u-joints. I am also selling the custom built cross member that supports the center carrier. I spec'd it for my truck which is stock height save for 2" lowering shackles in the rear. It cost $900 to build. I told them to make it bulletproof, and it turned out fantastic.






$400 plus shipping, buyer pays 3% paypal fee or send as gift.

Heard that a few 2 piece shafts for NNBS trucks vibrated at high speeds. Any with this one?

This isn't just any 2 piece Been to 151mph on the dyno and no vibration. Ran a cobra a while back to 145 and it was completely smooth.

Part of the vibration is in how you set up the pinion angle, and I had mine dialed in perfectly. I made some shims to place under the carrier to bring the angle up where I wanted it. I will send those with the shaft and cross member.

It might. Do you know what length you need? The straight line distance between the trans yoke and pinion yoke is 84.375". There is a little bit of range that you can play with.

I don't know what the complete distance is, but I just measured the stock ones and both of them combined are 83 inches not including the u joints. Will this just bolt up to the diff?

This is the drawing I made to give to the guys who built it. Trans angle should be very similar on another vehicle, but pinion angle will differ by a little bit. I used a 3/16" shim under the center carrier to give me a -2° pinion angle.
