Anyone have a spare driveshaft lying around?

TAlexinPDX Posted 2022-06-14 11:23 PM (#622148) Subject: Anyone have a spare driveshaft lying around? New User Posts: 4 Hi, my '58 Belvedere is sidelined yet again. This time it was for a transmission rebuild and now it looks like I need a driveshaft as well. Basically, the local driveshaft guy says the hole at the "pin" end has worn and is too loose for a rebuild. If anyone has a less worn example they are willing to part with I would be interested.

There might be an issue with not very much metal around that pinion to be able to safely bore it out and sleeve it. I'm looking at a couple of options but the easiest would have been to just replace the driveshaft, if I could find one. jboymechanic Posted 2022-06-20 10:03 AM (#622250 - in reply to #622148) Subject: Re: Anyone have a spare driveshaft lying around?
