  • Parts to build your own Driveshaft

    I'm looking to build a new front driveshaft. I already have a 16 spline x 14" slip on my rig, but the guys at Cincinnati Driveline & Hydraulics only used an 2 1/2" splined female slip and now it wobbles like crazy. They suck! I need to find at least a 6" 16 spline female collar and some DOM tube to match it. The other end is just a 1350 joint. Anybody know of a place online or in town that would have these parts?

I need to find at least a 6" 10 spline female collar and some DOM tube to match it. The other end is just a 1350 joint. Anybody know of a place online or in town that would have these parts?
      You can't get CDH to make good on their work?

      No help with parts, sorry...

        I tried, they just looked at me like it was my fault.
        They are good if you need a stock shaft. I had them build both shafts for me. I told them what I was doing with the truck, and it needed to be strong. They used .083 tube, yeah, that didn't last long... The front CV died in Harlan first trip. I sleeved them with sch. 40 pipe after I twisted them in half.

          you might try parts for a PTO shaft for a tractor. They are big and beefy looking but I would not want one if you plan on driving it on the road or going fast in Hi range.

            Correction. I was way off. It's an 1 5/8 - 16 spline shaft, not 10... Not sure where I got that at?? This might be easier to find...

              Looked for hours and can't find anything. Found plenty of 16 spline stuff, just not 1 5/8.

                  Driveshaftsuperstore.com may have what you are looking for. I believe they do.

                    I looked at them several times yesterday. I didn't see a 16 spline coupler that was 1 5/8. They have one for the 10 spline though. I think I'm going a different route. I saw plenty of 9" slip setups. The most I could get my slip to move was 5". I guess 14" was a tad much...

                      Watching this. I'm in need of a long slip setup on one of my yotas but don't want to double the value of the truck with a new driveshaft. Cincy driveline was outrageously expensive when I got a quote from them.

                        Yeah, they charged me $450 for the front shaft. Never again...

                          Found a place online, have heard they are reasonably priced but haven't looked into it much yet grobinc.com or something like that.

                            I wonder if they sell to the general public? It might be hard to find a yoke to fit their spline.

                            Neapco sells a PTO setup for rock crawlers. It's similar to my setup.

                            I believe it's the same one http://driveshaftsuperstore.com is selling.

                              Does anyone know off hand what trucks use 1350 joints in their stock front drive shafts? I want to get one from u pull for a temporary fix until I link my truck. Or does anyone have one they will sell cheap? Length doesn't matter, I can fix that.
