I took my shafts to the driveshaft shop and got them back today. The only diffreneces I know of with what I have in the flanges on the t case was the hole size cause I think my old tcase was dilled out bigger?

I get back and my rear slip flange would not line up(yes I can drill but it will be a bitch!) smaller bolts is not all it needs.


I dont see where they could have gotten the flanges backwards... yes I have the old driveshaft flange after the long travel was installed which made no diffrence.

My rig is an 84 along with my shafts- minus the new long travel installed in the front.

the donor case is a gear driven case like my old one and yes the rear part of my front driveshaft mounted just fine just needed smaller bolts cause I know my old case was drilled out.

Only thing in question is the rear ...........what am I missing?
 
ok I thought twice about this........if the shop got the short ends backwards from the begining and I could see where that would be easy to do.......then they could be backwards .

is this possible? Are the flanges diffrent?

because I have a mulithole diff flange in the front then they could be backwards and not know it........
 
looks like it was in backwards in the first place.......christ I almost missed it yesterday. The drivshaft shop did have the 2 short ends backwards. Doesnt matter when I flipped the rear driveshaft (:doh:) bolted up like it was suppose to. The 3rds having muilt holes almost allowed me to miss it.

All my old s*** was drilled out larger so now I need to buy all new driveshaft to transfer bolts.
