driveshaft oem parts

[wwhite72]

i am looking at replacing my driveshaft and associated parts. these are the part numbers i have found for 1972 with 351c with FMX; drive shaft D1ZZ-4602-C (2 3/4 x 51 3/32)...yoke C3AZ-4841-A 31 spline...Front U-joint C3AZ-4635-E....Rear U-joint C3AZ-4635-F. i dont see a different number for different body type. I am considering going with an aluminum driveshaft since the prices arent much different and i dont have more than 500HP. Any comments by anyone who has had experience with driveshaft replacement is welcome. Suppliers, alum vs steel, u-joint sizes, and yoke manufacturers/materials are of interest. looking at the bigger suppliers like Inland and Denny's. And how in the world can a driveshaft be installed off center in the yoke?

G-

Save your money..If you come up as we discussed we will find your issue within an hour or two..I can take your driveshaft to the same place I had mine done..They will replace the u-joints balance it's 10 minutes from my place..It cost me 90.00 with everything..I had it the next day after it was dropped off.. I will be taking my aluminum one there after the 4r70w is installed.

Not really but it's what the P.O. had installed when he did the 429 big c-6 conversion So I have it & it should be close length wise so I'm going to use it..If I had to buy one I'd be looking for used in a junk yard..
