Noel, my thread on making either front or rear shafts might help with your question.

Thanks, I read that a lot and it is very informative.

Are the grease nipples all accessible with the DS installed, or does it need to be dropped to lube properly?

Very interesting info. Nay, I have a very similar setup and the same annoying growl vibration. So did you use a d-cab rear or extra cab rear shaft? There are a few scrap yards fairly near my work and sounds like it might be a good investment to pick one up. Thanks for the info

It doesn't matter and honestly I don't know . You just need the long bed to get the two-part shaft. Bear80's writeup that he linked has even more info and is a resource you should use to look at all your options.

They seem to be all accessible, but the joints were greased from the shop so I haven't confirmed that yet.

it's not the long bed you are after but the extended frame. Any engine/ tranny/ 2wd or 4wd combination will be fine as long as it's an extended cab or double cab truck.

Thanks for the correction, that's what I meant.
