Finally!!!!! Thanks to some good buddies who helped me take a good look at everything it is finally fixed. It was a combo of things all in the front driveshaft! Angles were bad, shaft was way out of balance, and the splines were sloppy. I bought me a double cardan from a 85 mini and had it mated to a good cruiser shaft with good splines, got it balanced. I put it in today and drove it. I love it when the only thing I hear is the rumble of the V8. Problem solved. Good luck to all the other guys who are experiencing the same issue.

i thought I had checked everything, I turned, pulled, pushed, tugged to see if anything was loose except at the splined part of the driveshaft. I know some of you told me to check that. Thought I did but it Took someone else to look at it. He just grabbed the splined area and pushed up and down and the thing slopped all around. Thanks guys!
