Custom drive shaft shop in southern LA?

[SVT-BansheeMan]

Anyone know of a local shop who can make a custom drive shaft. I need one for my truck.

I would try Billy at Budget Transmission. I'm not sure if he makes them or not but if he doesnt he could help you find somebody that does. He's installed a transmission and two clutches for me and does great work.

There is a driveshaft place in harahan near colonial bowling alley. They do some good work and are local. DSS did mine back in my auto days. Good price and top notch piece.

I've used driveline and recommend them all the time, never heard of an issue.

Thanks guys. Ill give them places a call when the time comes. Much appreciated!

Drive Line of BR inc seems they dont want my business after 4+ phone calls and leaving my name and cell number twice to two guys answering the phone. It seems because i do not have the front yoke etc from a viper drive shaft, it is blowing their minds.

So with that said, i need phone numbers to other places who can make one from scratch. Thanks!

All i need is a driveshaft to go from a viper spec t56 out of a wrecked 2000 viper to a stock 04 rear end. Is it THAT complicated.

/end rant.

Driveline is one of those old school places that likes to handle things face to face. You'll want to provide the yokes anyway, it'll make it cheaper for you.

I priced the front yoke on summit. I think it's a 31 spline from ford that will fit it. However, i have no way of confirming that.

Do yall know what front yoke/spline fits a viper spec t56 from a gen 2 viper?

 

[RyansQuick6]

Not trying to be a dick, but why not just call a Dodge dealer????

 

[SVT-BansheeMan]

Already did that long time ago. They only sell the whole driveshaft.

Again. Please give me numbers of other shops. Yellow book and other phone book sites aren't working for this.

Drive shaft

I realize you are putting the transmission ina truck, but I have one from a 94-04 with a SRA. I have a modified FRPP aluminum shaft with a 1350, 31 spline (C6 style yoke) front and SRA rear. It came out of my 2003 GT with a TKO 600 (same tail as a Viper spec T56). Here is a picture, be aware its dirty, I haven't tried to clean it.

I live in Lafayette and could let you check it out before you buy. I only want $150 for it.

 

[SVT-BansheeMan]

Thanks. If they cant find one, i will work something out with you.

How much RWTQ was your car making and how much did it weigh?

 

[SVT-BansheeMan]

I ordered a new one for $99. Thanks man!
