    HI I need to get my drive shaft lengthened by about 4 inches , I am building a 35 truck and have the wrong tranny so the driveshaft is 4 inches short
    I live in NJ getting prices around $425 which I thinking is to much ?

    Might be cheaper to get a longer one and have it shortened.
    Purchased and un-assembled Mk3 in 2016. 5.0, Aluminum heads, Performer RPM Air gap, Quick Fuel 650 carb, BBK headers T5, 3.55 rear solid axle, Koni Shocks, PS with Hydra-boost. Also own two restored vintage Mustangs, two Model A fords, 1941 Chevy truck and several other hot rods.

    If you don't have a reputable driveshaft shop in your area then consider reaching out to the folks at Spohn Performance.
    They made my lower rear control arms and they are spot on perfect.
    See the attached link below:

    Good Luck & Have A Great Build!

    Google drive shaft repair for local shops. Once you find one, this is super easy stuff for the professional. It should be maybe $200-250. These are the guys I use. At the prices you have been quoted I bet you could ship yours to Lorton and still come out ahead.
