so i go a 4/6 2005 cc and towing the golf car to the track sat i cut he drive shaft in half sooooo with that said what r my options i kinda want to build a smaller diameter steel shaft but have no trans yoke and need the measurment center to centger on the yolks

what was it rubbing on?

Get a driveshaft from an extended cab truck and install it into your truck. you just have to build a carrier bearing crossmember and move the evap tank. it'll probably be your easiest and cheapest route

crew cabs have a 1piece HUGE driveshaft that rubs on the gas tank crossmember i believe.

i put a xcab 2 peice in and works great. i moved the evap canister and had a crossmember made. no vibration at all.

How's your pinion angle? adjusting the angle to the correct spec helps alot of guys get rid of the vibration.

I had called some shops and asked them if they could make a 1 piece driveshaft smaller in diameter like the extended cabs and they said it wouldnt workfor some reason. I forgot what they said. Id much rather have a smaller one piece than a 2 piece

Umm I not to sure. Its decent i think. What would I measure? The pinion leaving the carrier bearing and the rear end pinion?

I almost did the exact same thing last weekend trying to haul a bunch of dirt. Thank god I installed taller then normal bumpstops. However, everytime I hit a large bump my driveshaft would rub. After it was all said and done I had a nice clean scrap right on the weld of the rear yoke. So to fix it, last night I notched the crossmember so I won't happen again. I have no idea why CC driveshafts are so damn large.

+1, I'm looking to do this too. I'm searching around right now for some ideas/pix.
