drive shafts

[forttravis]

got a pretty dumb question. what year drive shafts work on a 97 f250. iam doing a man swap and i dont want to ruin the auto shafts. i figure that they have to be out of a 250 or 350 but just want cleared up before i go get a set

All depends what wheel base you have

but a 96/97 driveshaft from the same cab/bed configuration will work

[forttravis]

my bad its a reg cab. so it really doesn't have to be special then just another 250 reg cab

[Diesel_brad]

Yes, you need a reg cab driveshaft. An F350 one will work too.

It has to be 2wd or 4wd specific.

You should fill out your signature so WE know what you are working on

put that in your sig lol, but what exactly are you doing to it? making it an automatic?

[forttravis]

it was a auto now its manual. i talked to a junk yard today and they said 93 _97 rear shafts work and like 88 to 97 front work

[Diesel_brad]

Junk yard is wrong. The rear shaft on the 80-95 is slip yolk. a 96/97 has flat flange it bolts to

i need the rear length if that is possible and might as well get the front too. i have to get this truck rolling again it has been parked since oct

the 250 and 350 front shafts are different. i don't know if you were talking front or rear driveshafts
