Need New driveshaft for my M1008

The yoke on the 205 as I can see it on northerndrivetrain can only handle 30 degrees and I need 40.
Is there something I don't see?

Hmm. I think that means the material on the yoke would need to be clearenced a little bit because a 1480 ujoint can handle 38*. That may be worth calling them and seeing if there is enough material on the yoke to sand down/ remove some to get more angle without compromising the integrity of the yoke. If you cant get more angle out of it then it wont do you any good. Seems odd that its limited to 30*.

Another option would be to make your own yoke that bolts to the front flange of the 205. I had a for sale thread years ago where i sold all the parts to make a 1480 shaft using all d60 outer shaft ears and had a flange machined to fit the yoke, just needed to be welded. Ill see if i can dig it up to give you an idea. It would accommodate 38* easy (because yoke was meant for steering in front axle).
 
I looked up the 1410 and it shows the same thing, 30 degrees, but I didn't have any issues after a little grinding of the small pads cast into the yoke.

It didn't compromise the integrity of the yoke as I think those pads are there to support the driveshaft from flexing to 90 degrees in the event of a driveline failure.

Kind of a safety requirement maybe???

With a starting or static angle of 40 degrees, is there anything else you can do to make your angle a little better ??
 
Here is a thread that shows a pic of home made flange for tcase:

Uses driveshaft spacer (bolts up to stock tcase flange) with 1410 yoke welded to it. You could do the same thing but with 1480 yoke (from d60 outer axleshafts). That was my original plan. And would be much cheaper than buying 205 yoke.

The angle is about 40 degrees at the most.
It's at full drop.
At ride height it's not at all that bad but with 6"lift and only 26" long shaft it soon get worse.
 
Going tomorrow to my garage to look for old yokes.
I think I have a couple of slipyokes and some broken driveshafts/axles (wonder why) .
This is leaning towards a hillbilly solution
 
I did get a shaft to try with it's got 1310 at the pinion with about 10 degree angle and 1350/1310 conversion joint at the tc with about 30 degree angle. Runs OK in 2wd but in 4wd it shakes a lot and that is at pretty low speed 205 in low and 465 in second.
It's not really straight but I think it's the angles who does it.
 
The noise that comes from a square tube driveshaft is horrendous, @ChrisPerry will tell as well as anybody who wheeled with him.

If you need a spare build it out of square, driving it at all regularly, build / buy a round one that will work.
 
also if doing square tube there is seamless inside . this is what you need and make sure the inner tube fits good inside the outer . some square tube is made for this some is not .
 
You could potentially have a custom built shaft made in the USA, shipped to a forum member. Have the forum member take it out of the box, pull the stickers, get it dirty, and pack it up in a generic used box without any markings. Then ship it to you marked "gift"...
 
A little update.
Got 1480 yokes from drive axles
My friend is going to weld one of them to the 205 flange and the other to the shaft.
Got a new 1480 u-joint so I am going to try this and then make a decision about a highangle cv.
More pics and info will come when driveshaft is put together.
