Chevy Front Drive Shaft
Front shaft for Chevy trucks with a stock solid front axle, non-IFS. This shaft will fit nearly any GM or Chevy application which uses a factory style flat flange on the transfer case and a factory size 1310 series u-joint on the front axle. This includes most Chevy Suburban, Chevy Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Chevy K5, Chevy K10, Chevy K20, and Chevy K30 trucks.
Most trucks after 1975 used a flat flange attachment at the transfer case, many trucks before 1975 used a yoke at the transfer case. Identify which one you need, measure accordingly, and select the appropriate type in the dropdown menu when ordering.
If you have something different than what's shown here, have more than 6 inches of lift, have a shackle reversal, or currently have any problems due to angle or strength of your existing shaft give us a call.
This shaft is a huge improvement over the stock shafts, which use outdated/obsolete 3R or Saginaw components. The old Saginaw CVs don't flex very far and are hard to rebuild. Our 1310 series shaft will flex to 35 degrees maximum angle and can be run up to 22 degrees continuous angle. Learn how to measure these angles here.
