Default where to get a drive shaft?
Where are some good places to get a drive shaft built for my ecsb truck? Not to expensive or cheap either.

Well the factory shaft may be less than 700, but you can see the kind of quality that gets you.

I think I spent close to 700. I got a aluminum driveshaft. Double wall thickness compared to the stock one.

My 5" AL shaft from DSS with new yokes and everything was around $600. 2nd shaft from them and never had a problem with any of them. I am going to get another from them here soon.
