That's what I tell the wife all the time!!!I think the yoke where it flares up is where I lost length.

I had the same thing happen and i went back to the rubber support for now when i get time i plan on trying to make a one piece drive shaft work without cutting the frame ???
Were you getting any vibrations out of that?Here is the slip joint driveshaft with 1310 U joints I removed from my 62 SS 409 Hardtop - 530 HP 409 stroker motor ---and replaced with another 1350 U joint slip joint 2 piece driveshaft in my 530 HP 409 stroker motor 62 SS Hardtop and a new 9 Inch Ford Rear end.
Both have a billet carrier bearings
The slip joint driveshaft in these pictures is going in Tom K. 1962 SS 409 convertible he is restoring

I see showcars has the rear slip, how much slip 2”? Thank you!No vibrations on the one I removed and 2 others in my 62’s.
All the slip joint driveshafts I have were built and balanced by Driveline company in Sioux Falls South Dakota.
The original driveshafts we’re factory 4 speed driveshafts.

Weld the base plate to the upper as the spot welds usually don’t hold well. I weld a couple straps from the base to the side of the loop just for added support.So take the bearing and rubber boot out and weld the shit out of it?????
Paul, can I run this with stock drive shaft without new rear slip yoke, I have heard both ways. I know not to tighten bolts tell it is settled on the ground with weight of the car on rear tires.Billet carrier bearings are not expensive rather than welding
