So I busted my CV on my front driveshaft. Thought about upgrading to a 1350 CV on it.

Then I thought I don't really need that. I mean this is on Horton. Not a street driven type of truck.

So now I am thinking 1410 weld on yoke for the driveshaft and a 1410 yoke for the t case.

Would probably retube the driveshaft at that point too, it would need to be a touch longer.

What say ye

BTW it seems like the CV route would take at least a couple hundo and the 1410 route would take well alot less. Around a 100 plus whatever tube I need
 
Go to picknpull and look for super duty rear drive shafts. They have 1350 CV's. Shorten as needed.
 
saw this earlier, not sure if it will work for you?

I actually have one that should fit the 205 just need to find it. I actually forgot about it till Luke posted that up. Kind of reminded me to look for it

Why not just run square tube.

Well the driveshaft has 12" of slip or slightly more. I don't need the slip. I need ends.

I had a thread on 1350 cv's last month looking for something for my rear shaft. It appears that '03 super dutys and '06+ dodges have 1350 cv's on their front shafts.

That said, I'd think a single 1410 would be the way to go on a dedicated wheeler.

The more and more I think about it the more and more I agree a single 1410 and I could make my other driveshaft ( long travel also) complete for alot less than 2 cv heads. I only have about 4" of lift anyway so its not like the angles are huge plus it is a D&D doubler so the longest one you can get
