well, to be honest... I was thinking about that. but how would a slip yoke for a 4l60 be welded to the smaller diameter stock driveshaft? I mean, technically I could bolt up the carrier bearing and the rear yoke should bolt up too. the front one would need to be shortened I guess?

but my original concern with a 2 piece was that I thought it made it much harder to get the drive angles correct... as opposed to just trying to match the front u joint angle to the rear u joint angle?

this truck will never be amped up to high horsepower or some crazy driving and burnouts, I don't really care for that stuff. I just want something that works and won't break lol
