You can get a shop to fab up a truck shaft with a u-joint, and a "slider" in the shaft.
Not expensive. Layne Grissman wrote:
It's not that the Ball and trunion won't work, but if we have to get a new driveshaft, I'm looking at other options....How easy is the Ball and trunion to transfer to a new Driveshaft? Haven't done this one before, so I have no idea....We're checking the front joint under to boot tomorrow....and some other points.

We have checked the U-Joints and they are in great shape. It is only under acceleration, but we may have found the culprit...the driveshaft....

If it does end up being the driveshaft, what will I need for the conversion fro Ball and Trunion to the typical yoke? anyone have any ideas so I can get the costs, etc?

If so, one of the things to check isu-joints. A vibration under acceleration is a main symptom, but that doesn't explain you feeling it in the steering wheel though.

We did put the car up within the last 20 minutes, turned the drive shaft, and heard and felt a clunk about every revolution, maybe every revolution and a half of the drive shaft. Sounded like it was coming from the Differential....The drive shaft looks good....we are checking the torque specs on the Differential nut....could it be the ring gear or the pinion?Please address private mail -- mail of interest to only one person -- directly to that person.
