no damn idea what you'd reasonably spend for a front propeller shaft, but, congrats on the truck..... and your comment "...same as my last one...." reminded me of Nick Nolte's P.O.S. sky-blue Cadillac from the second of the two "48 Hours" movies. hahahaha

Hmmmm nice man. I love the coastal area of BC. thsts probably a good idea, id recommend high angle ujoint yokes and ditch the double cardinal joint at the t-case.

They seem to be. Both my 1st gens have been warn out n I know a couple guys who have had em wear out. One shop my dads sorta friends with the owner. He wouldn't rebuilt em for me, not that I can't do it just I heard they are a real pita to rebuild.
