You shouldn't have any problem at all finding a driveline shop in or close to Westchester. Just call up a heavy truck repair shop and ask them who they have rebuild their drivelines.
Unless you do hard core off-roading the stock propshafts are fine provided they are rebuilt and lubricated properly.

 

i was looking into the Tom Woods shafts. I'm gonna have to wait for some more cash flow toward the end of the year I want a nice lift kit and a Tom Woods shaft. Till then i need to rebuild what I have so it doesnt destroy the truck.

My SN is actually a model of a mountain bike that I had when I first started racing.

 

found the old thread. "precision #617-ball kit" Lucky me there is a place right in my town that specializes in drive shafts. I will call and get an estimate tomorrow and possibly order the parts off rockauto and tell them i just need the parts installed to guarantee i get the right stuff. thank you again.

 

If you're ordering from Rockauto there's no guarantee you'll get the right stuff. They sent me the wrong parts and it took a complaint and over a month to finally get them to cover the $7 shipping to return them.

You can get them at Advance, there's one in Stamford, PDQ 10005 u-joint and Neapco 7-0081NG centering kit.
The driveline shop will have the parts you need, but they will probably cost more. The PDQ u-joint is about $12 at Advance, at a driveline shop, the same u-joint, only in a Neapco box, will cost $25-$30.

 

If you are going to have a shop do the work, don't buy the parts, let them supply them, that way if something fails, they will be responsible for the warranty of the parts, not you.

 

Yeah, I left that part out, shops usually don't like you bringing in your own parts, sorta like taking your own groceries to a restaurant and asking them to cook them for you.

 

yeah i read on their site that they are a distributor of Neapco parts so i'm gonna let them take it on. You guys think around $200 is a good price? It will be like $100 in parts if I ask them to replace all 3 joints and the centering ball kit.

 

It'll be a bit over $100 in parts I'm guessing. The u-joints are typically $25-$30 and the centering kit is probably another $30.
