The Ford Barn - View Single Post - drive shaft re-spline

19Fordy · 10-07-2020, 12:10 PM

Is it not possible with todays welding methods to actually cut and reweld a solid drive shaft to a desired length? A sleeve could also be welded over the "joint" to give it more strength.

I would think that would be less expensive than cutting new splines and heat treating.

Here's an interesting Fordbarn thread about this.
