Aluminum Drive Shaft Question

[MAC'n89Blckstng]

I got an aluminum driveshaft fo free from a budy of mine, except it came without a tailshaft yoke. I was wondering if anybody knows if you can use a stock yoke or if I can get one for cheap from somewhere. I really want to install this thing but I can't. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jesse

Stock should work fine. If you want a new one for it though, D&D has them for like 70 bones.

considering I only have about 140 bucks to my name, (i hate being in college) I'm gonna have to use what I got. I just wanted to make sure the u-joint was the same as a stocker. thanks alot man!

The U-Joint should be the same. The only difference I can maybe see is if the made the yoke and stuff out of aluminum as well and a stocker is steel, but I couldn't tell you for sure.

it wouldn't matter if the yoke is steel or aluminum, since it doesnt interact with the aluminum. I'm gonna try it this weekend. we'll see.

If the yoke and shaft aren't perfect, it might viberate badly.

Is the FRP aluminum driveshaft? The FRP driveshaft comes with 1330 u-joints, larger and stronger than stock. So the stock slip yolk won't fit. Sorry.
BTW: Slip yolk is always steel.
