What's the best way to do my rear drive shaft, (with my 208-fixed rear yoke I'm buying), that I can realistically afford?
Other than going square.

Swap in a 241; you can get a SYE for those pretty readily. Of course, there's the electrical vs mech speedo thing to handle, but I think the shifter might work just fine.

i took a dodge case, swapped in the chevy 27 sppline input. used a clockingring from greatlake offroad to get to the position i needed (you have to use this fi dodge case on chevy adapter) and will run flanges front a rear with modifed front chevy shafts on both sides
Why not just buy my bolt on 32 spline yoke, drill aqnd tap your output shaft, then have a slider put into your driveshaft and be done.

I guess I'm horrible at asking questions..............
What I meant to say is:
I'm buying a 208 with a fixed rear yoke (dodge parts) from a friend next week, it also has a clocking ring attached!
My question is:
What are my options concerning the rear drive shaft. I have a spare front one off a K-10 with a 208 as well as a spare rear off the same truck. Could those be cut up and mated together. And it is a DD as well.

You'll be awakened at "da Thump" by the sound of duct tape being wound around yer truck!
Finally removed it and cut the little shield ring off last week.

have fun drilling and tapping an output shaft. they should be hardened unless you have a faulty one.

If you have a lathe it should be no problem . I have a couple at my disposal
. I was actually thinking about doing this but I am a little wary of any possible post machining issues with the shaft.Ira
The ouput shaft drills like butter with the correct type drill bits
