    Feeling around for a front shaft for a ‘69 V6. D18/D27.
    Don’t care about u joints, I can replace those just looking for a shaft that doesn’t have 1/2” of wobble in the slip joint!
    Anybody got anything?
    Might be a couple of paydays till’
    I’m ready to seal the deal.
    Thanks All!

    I’ve got a couple. What exact size do you need?
    I think different transmissions make a difference.

    I’ve got a T14. I won’t have it out for another week or two, then I can measure extended and collapsed.

    I measured 21 3/4” collapsed and 24” extended.
    It is the smaller u joint V6 shaft.
    Either of you guys have one?

    I have this one. I measured it at 21.75 - 23.75.
    It's filthy but ujoints and slip joint look good.

    Too late. I didn’t even get out there today. Church and a big family dinner-Birthday. Good day. I should be able to look tomorrow.

    Well @colojeepguy , you’re right it isn’t clean.
    Know what else it isn’t? Wobbly!
    Nice and tight all the way through extension!

    Thank you!

    I’m glad you got it. I was traveling a bunch in the past couple weeks. Maybe next time I’ll be able to help you out with my pile of junk.

    It's filthy because I greased it every chance I got...those driveshafts are notorious for worn slip yokes, keep it well lubed and hopefully you'll get many years of use from it like I did.
