EDIT - The above statistics were obtained directly from the 'Standard Catalog of Ford Trucks 1905-2002', and though I have no reason to doubt the figures, I have found other discrepancies in this book, so.... Just thought I'd better list my source for the above numbers, for CYA purposes.

excellent. i knew you would probably have this. i thought it was posted on the site but i couldn't find it. i'm bettign its a 133. since the truck is a f150 with a single driveshaft.now i can close that fte page i was tring to open. thank god. that was the last place i wanted to look.

Be aware that there are several length single piece driveshafts used in F150's. It depends on engine and trans rear axle ratio (yes, ratio matters!) combo. The one piece shafts range in length from 67 53/64 to 71 29/32 with about 5 different lengths in between. Do you know the year and engine trans combo? I can give you the original Ford spec. Also, your info is not correct, The one piece shafts were only used on the lightest duty trucks. Most 133 inch wheelbase trucks have a two piece shaft. Hawkrod

the guy hasnt called me yet like he said he was going to so i dont know any more than what i have put in yet. i priced the shaft so low that he would take it. i wanted to be sure and get him the right piece but he hasnt even called me. i wont be home tommorrow.
