Hello everyone , i have a 2004 F-150 Super Crew 4.6 - and a wheelbase of 139
my drive shaft center support bracket broke and its according to ford non serviceable , i went online looking for the complete drive shaft and either I'm stupid or i own a franken truck .
ebay says that the 91inch shaft fits as long as the wheelbase is 144.7 and the differential has 12 bolts , witch my truck doesn't have
my truck differential has 10 bolts and the wheelbase is 139 .
i removed the driveshaft and measured compressed is 86 and extended 89 its a 2 piece
the only drive shafts that i found matching the size are one piece units .
i know that this truck came from Galpin ford , they have a thing for modifying stock trucks and called them galpinized , so maybe that's what happened here .

questions
Can i just install a straight 86-89inch drive shaft ?

 

Did you try a salvage yard ?
