Hi  Carl,
        I  had the driveshaft balanced when I installed Herman's  5 
speed  conversion  on Casper  ... it  significantly reduced overall 
vibration, I  could not  believe how much smoother he ran with it 
installed.   Your $45 price is right in the same neighborhood as my 
cost, and I also had the install new U-joints at the same time.
