Joe and Larry hit it right on. You will have to get a custom one built.
Only thing I disagree on is the $$. I have been getting quoted $250-350 for
a custom shaft locally, so it appears location plays a big part in the $$.
I am really starting to dislike this town, everything seems more expensive
than the rest of the country.
Joe, where do you live? Drop me a line, I would like to get any info you
have on places that will do a driveshaft for that price range. I can ship a
shaft for ~$30, so if I can get one from your area for $125, I can ship it
and be ahead $100...
