How much does the stock driveshaft on our (Well, mine is a 94 GT) cars weigh? I'm wondering because the shipping weight of an aluminum on i found is 20lbs... Just wanted to know how much of a difference there is because that sounds pretty light to me

Thanks for the help

I thought that you could use the aluminum shaft from a Ford Aerostar van and it was a direct fit?
