RE: Driveshaft Source - Conversion from ball and trunion

["Hall, Ricky L" <ricky.l.hall@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For me it is peace of mind with all new parts, no different than replacing all the suspension parts in last few weeks - they were still doing the job too, although in a worn/aged diminished state of repair.  

That said, the 52 year old B&T with 89,000 miles on it was still doing the job less the cracked rubber boot slinging grease, the new driveshaft feels no different.  I am sure it would of seen me thru my lifetime, had I just replaced the boot.  Especially since the Dart will probably only see the 1,000 or so miles a year, that it saw last year.  Anyone need a good B&T in the Seattle area?

Then again, the 2bbl carb is still doing the job too, but I have gotten in line for the new Poly SS 4bbl manifold.....  ; )

Pardon me but why not just stay with the b/t ?? When I convert to slip yoke trans then switch .  O sure if your pushing 500+ real horse power maybe it's a concern. But we ( my good buddy and I) seem to wear out the tail shaft bushing causing excessive shat wobble.  New bushing vibration stops with the b/t and the roller bearing that problem doesn't exist does it?
