I've got a pair of steel 1350 drive shafts yokes and was going to order a chrome moly 3" driveshaft tube from summit for them.
What mig wire should I use? Standard .035 solid steel/copper or something else? Is it not adviseable to weld chrome moly to steel?
I used to care but....... things have changed

I'm curious, what grade steel are you using, 4130?

I looked on the Strange website and it is 4130. Pretty low alloy, 1% Cr, 0.25 % Mo. I did a brief websearch on welding techniques for 4130 and found a bunch. You should be in good shape. Good luck.
