Just spit balling here.
I want to convert my Chrysler 55 to a short shaft.
With limited parts available in my area, prices are up there. Some of the big boys want me to ship my parts to them to match up, then charge a service fee to find, then prices go up..
So was thinking, Could someone cut 5 inches out of the drive shaft. Drill the center, tap and add a double sided bolt and screw together?
I know it would be hard to drill in the center, But if I could send it to a machine shop and have them put it in a drill press. They should be able to drill in the center.
You think this might work?
