I cut down a rear driveshaft out of an extended cab ford with a carrier bearing...works great on the front of my buggy and napa sells the carrier bearing for 30$

I need to do mine...was going to use a pillow block but considering the carrier bearing now...alot cheaper...do you get much vibration

I dont feel any vibration but its hard to tell with open headers and smoldering tires :driving:

If you will get ahold Traveler on here, He will make you one. He is making me one now. It is a shaft that is 32 splined on both ends with a heavy duty carrier bearing in the middle. Hope that helps.

i plucked mine outta an 88 ford f250, it was a rear two piece drive shaft, i just cut that down and replaced the carrier bearing with a new napa unit, i picked it up at our local pick a part but im sure there are other year and makes that would work just the same...it works great, i got the idea from Yanksters CSC buggy

That is bad ass...I have a 88' f 250 at the shop I am fixing to remove the drive shaft and put a short shaft in it and shrink the wheelbase...guees that means I already have the **** for the buggy front shaft then...post a couple pics if you dont mind
