Hi guys i have an 89 extended cab 4x4 toyota truck what i want to do is drop the 2piece drive shaft and get a 1 piece installed. the problem is cost i talked to my local drives shaft shop and for them to make me a custom 1 piece it would be around 7-800$ what i am wondering is if i could get a drive shaft from a Chevy truck would a shop be able to lengthen it a couple inches and put new flanges on it so it would adapt to my toyota??
has anyone tried this or would it be to weak? i only have a 22re in my truck so not a whole lot of power.. the reason i want to do this is for some reason my center or steady bearing (the one that keeps the 2 piece from twisting in half keeps going after around a year and i end up twisting my drive shaft off and banging it around. and these bearings are around 350$ from my local shops.
any help or suggestions would be great.

Ive got an 87 longbed toy with a one piece. See if you can find one of those, i imagine the length would be pretty close if not perfect.

u need to find a better shop. all u need to do is take the CV portion of the rear 2 peice and lengthen it. i have a 1 peice on my 1991 ex cab and hate it with a passion. it hangs down and is a rock catcher, anyway all u need to do is have the cv part with the slip lengthened to whatever u need and then bolt in. i paid 145 bucks to have mine made and to have the cv clearenced
