Little high priced in my opinion. All Aluminum dr shafts from 3rd &4th gen cars will fit V8 cars. I would not pay over $120 for one

Doesn't look right (what's the black all about). I sold, once upon a time, 70+ JG1 alum shafts for $160 including shipping. You should do better than the suggested price.

"Remanufactured".

3-1/2" tube means earlier type. At least, the LS1 f-body take-out I got was 4" tube, and the '92 f-body take-out I got was 3-1/2" tube. Not sure exactly when the switch took place. I like the 4" tube a lot better, can't remember off the top of my head what I paid for each.

Re: This driveshaft fit my bird?

wait, what? the stock ls1 shaft diameter is 3" is it not? how the heck would you fit a 4" ds in there?

i bough an aftermarket 3.5" ds and its a tight squeeze and i kinda regret doing it.
