I took up Staceman on his idea and contacted the yard in North Carolina at the top of his list. I asked them to check the slip joint and get back to me. They sounded like good old boys and were polite to boot! $40 is cheap if they come up with something good. At that price I'll be happy even if it needs some rebuilding, as long as it's not rusty.

I also sent an email to davezoffroadperformance.com. I think I bought my V6 calipers from him about a half dozen years ago. Thanks for that Snowtoy. It's good for me to have a parts connection in California.

I wonder how much Roger had to pay for his rebuild. I think I paid around a $125 just to get the CV rebuilt. A spline shaft and slip yoke from Marlin or Trail-Gear runs $180. To put something like that together seems like it would run over $300. If I can get a nice used shaft from those boys in NC for $60 including shipping I'll be happy.
