Hopefully driveshaft will be done tomorrow. He called back yesterday saying it would be $225 roughly which is much better. I didn't want to run a conversion joint but they can't get the front yoke that I need for my slipyoke.

It was $236.99 after tax. I was happy and can now run with traffic again. I need to get my RC tank in now and redo my fuel lines. I must have a issue with my sending unit in the tank its running now.

Why'd you spent all that money when you could accomplish the same thing by setting 1000 lbs in the bed? :lol:

I'm glad to see its back together.

Oh its been together just shaking like an Sob. That 7290 slip yoke is the same as a 1330 its just the way the retaining rings hold it on that's different according to the drive line shop.

So recently I've been getting a hard brake pedal. It doesn't happen all the time but comes and goes.

If it's a vacuum booster you likely have a leak or the pump is starting to go out. Or the booster is starting to fail
