I got a 1987 K5 that I inherited from my late dad. I've had it since 2019. Several months ago I dropped the drive shaft and cracked the transfer case back case and tail housing, since then I have replaced the back case and fixed the tail housing , but when I try to slide the slip yoke in, it is a very tight fit.

When I drop the driveshaft while driving. It must have bent the output shaft on the transfer case.

It happens, don't sweat the small shit. As long as you got it together.
