Driveshaft attachment hardware is one of the most overlooked components requiring frequent replacement. Replacing your driveshaft attachment hardware when performing other driveshaft service is good preventative maintenance.
1966-1979 Ford rear driveshafts used thin wall steel driveshaft tubing with 3' x 0.083" thick being the most common. We stock a few common sizes of driveshaft tubing which is available by the inch, plus with a short lead time, we can supply most non-stock sizes of driveshaft tubing in 6' lengths. Driveshaft tubing is typically more concentric, straighter, and has a higher Rockwell hardness rating when compared to general purpose tubing. A driveshaft needs to be retubed any time the tube is bent, dinged, or creased. Retubing a driveshaft is best done by a qualified driveline shop that can balance the finished assembly, however any competent machinist with a long bed lathe can successfully retube a driveshaft. See TM3000 Driveshaft Manual or TSB3510 Driveshaft Publications for driveshaft assembly runout specifications.
