[/QUOTE]good luck doug. i kinda feel you pain about searching for a shaft that will fit. when i was gonna swap to a 9.75 no one could tell me how much length was gonna be different of what shaft might swap since the m5od was never in a truck with a 9.75 rear

ok guys....i got the u-joint replaced without having to use old parts...i found that a 353 mastercraft bastard joint actuaqlly fits!!! hhhoooorrrraaaaayyyyy!!!!!!! got it all together and she's doing fine for now...still gonna have the shaft made though...that little shaft just doent get the job done....lol.....
Glad you are up and running for the time being. I assume when you have the new shaft made you plan on having new yokes used to avoid this u-joint issue?

Obviously it does if it's the u-joint that died and not the shaft
Your driveshaft could probably use a healthy balancing
Or a new driver

A bad u-joint can wear out the yoke...
Maybe some excessive wheel hop made your rear axle rotate a touch, putting more stress on the joint.
