    If you are going to put some power through them go with new ones. Strange Engineering is good to work with.

    Low power street applications I have had a local machinist cut them. All that is needed is an indexer and a cutter to re-spline. Best bet might be to hit the telephone and call up a few shops near you. Truck drive line shops are good places to start. I've used FleetPride for some things and they are National. Here is a link to their locator
