Thumbs up FINALLY!!........Wheatley has a 2 pc drive shaft

Haha, well as it says, after 2 years of having it sit in his storage shed at work, Charlie has his 2 piece drive shaft on his truck. i started fabbing up the cross member Saturday evening, and he came and gave me a hand finishing it up. turned out great, looks cool too. he says it drives perfect with no vibrations. No holding back now bud!!!!

heres a pic of it:

What kind of drive shaft would I need for a 2010 CCSB?

I'm looking for something safer for eventual 130ish mph speeds.
