I have had a couple made up in Wichita Ks. and they are not that expensive. I have had many balanced by them, also. You need to insert the front slip yoke in the tranny, to the point where it normally rides and measure from center of the u-joint cup to the center of the u-joint at the rear end. Make sure the frame is sitting on the ground and slightly preloaded with some weight to get your length. These guys will build a good line, balance it and use new U-joints, all in one day. I usually call ahead and make an appointment, drop off the driveline at the opening time for them and the work is done by 4 o clock in the evening. All in one day.

There used to be a place in Topeka, but they went out of business and I never looked for another. The guys in wichita fulfill my needs well.
