Is that drive shaft going to hold up?

I'd have some concern on those drive shaft angles. The front one looks to be way more then the 30 degrees a u-joint can handle, and the rear joint looks to be nearly straight. I suspect there is some major drive line vibration going on there. Probably why "some mechanical skills are required to finish this build". They screwed up the drive shaft angles and don't know how to fix it, or it will be a major pita to fix it.

That's a lot of money for something not yet road worthy, on a new build. Makes me wonder what else they screwed up. Gene

Looks like in the quest to get it to set as low as possible they sacrificed everything, including the ability to drive it.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

There is a price to pay to get things as low as possible! Gene

I wonder what the frame was from originally?It is some sort of OE manufacture with tubes added and possibly an aftermarket independent front grafted on.Welds look a little...thick maybe? Nice trailing arms on it.

In the pics where the driveshaft angle at the diff looks flat I don't think the engine is in. Driveshaft angles don't look to horrific in my novice opinion, no worse than what they were in my 78 Warlock I had and that had no vibrations. It is a very sweet truck and well worth the money IMO
