and very important also, is trying to find some that will work on/balance a alunimum driveshaft. It's a different metal then steel and takes different methods: most driveshaft shops won't touch alunimum and it has to be welded up when you get it. say with a steel one. easier and cheaper
There are several types of rearend yokes, especially for 9" rearends, they can vary as much as an inch in length, so be sure to get your setup together and measure before ordering an expensive driveshaft..

For the cost of having a driveshaft made up, you can get a HP aluminum one from FoMoCo. Only thing you have to change is the U-joint in the rear.
