Drive Shaft and U-Joints?
« on: February 28, 2018, 01:37:22 PM »
Hey all, so does this drive shaft look original, I'm pretty sure "Spicer U-Joints are not original, correct?

Thanks,

Jason

Not the greatest angle or shot but will try and take clues from what we can see.

1- there appears to be a depression where the tube was welded together running the length. Don't recall ever seeing that on an original

2- Caps are not original but can't see the U joint itself in the picture so don't know what it is or its physical features

I'll post more pictures of mine tonight, I have a feeling it's not original, which is a bummer :(
