Oh well... ..it happens.
Probably had a ding or something that grew over time until it failed.

Great, now I feel left out that I've never broken a driveshaft. I killed a flex plate, does that count?
I need to ask Mr Owl how many neutral drops it takes to shred a stock steel driveshaft.

damn! impressive destruction..
..hey randy, if you want to buy a driveshaft, let me know. I assume you are in New JErsey. I live in North Jersey by Hackettstown and I removed my OEM driveshaft from my 1987 IROC back in march 2019. It was behind a 700r4 and mated to the stock 10 bolt. It never gave me any problems; I took it out because I installed a Moser 12 bolt rear axle and a built-to-order Driveshaft from Dennys Driveshafts capable of holding big power. If you want to buy my old one, I' will sell it to you super cheap since you are a TGO member in need.

You just had to install that flux capacitor, didn't you?
Now every time you hit 88 mph, you get to replace your driveshaft.
