    I've just gone to the drive line shops.  They still make the transmission yokes and you can get the dimensions on the internet or you can take your own measurements.  I believe Mancini will supply them too.

     :iagree: Mine was made by (I kid you not) ShaftMasters outside of Detroit. Great guys, really went out of their way for me.

    I hade mine made up by these guys.  Great service and super quick turnaround.  Denny's driveshafts had a 3 week wait and cost more.

    thanks guys...I was hoping to avoid the expense of getting one custom made, as all the components are (or at least should be) stock. :banghead:

    But it is looking more and more like that is going to be the way I go!
