I remember reading somewhre about you can get an alum. driveshaft out of a ford aerostar van and shorten it, and it will work in a classic stang?? Anybody know if theres any truth to this or any details about it??
use a 2wd aerostar shaft and have it shortened to length, it may not need it so check it carefully, the only i thing i don't know for sure about is the u-joints, bur there should be u joints that will fit without any problems
If it turns out to be true that would be great. If it needed to be cut what would that cost? Can't cut that with a cutting disc on your grinder. Or a chopsaw. Need good tool for that.
i had the driveshaft from my 70 cougar shortened, balanced and had had new u-joints installed for 80 bucks, aluminum might be a little more expensive but i doubt it would be much
Bnickel. So it will actually will fit with a little massaging ? I would live to have an aluminum one. I'm just not willing to pay 350-375 yet. Ya know ?
This has been posted before. From my research, you can use an aerostar aluminum driveshaft, but you will have to have it shortened, welded, and balanced. It should be done for under $150...that will include the original price of the driveshaft.
