Thanks for updating the end result. I can stand these conversations that just end and the outcome is never added to the post.

All factory driveshafts had the zerk on the front u-joint, not on the double cardon end. That was likely a factory driveshaft ready to explode.

Well you guys have several options and throwing it away is not one of them.

(1) Put it up for a spare to rebuild.

(2) List in the classified section to be rebuilt

(3) Sell it on ebay as a rebuild-able core for someone else to rebuild

(4) Wrap it cardboard, carry it to the post office, send it to me, I'll pay shipping and then I'll rebuild it.

#4 is only an option if you are going to toss it. I don't need it but, hate to see rebuild-able parts go to scrap.

If you have the space to store it, like tinkering with stuff, need a rainy day project or an exercise in anger management, then put it up for a rebuild project.
