the material grade is not stamped into the tube. unless someone can find out who actually manufactures them and try to get an answer that way. good luck there.
if i were to guess, i'd say it's probably 5052, and from the ones i have seen broken, it's not very thick.

there ya go... lol
the stock driveshaft is marginal at best. i have seen h/c cars break them on the street with stock tires.
a good shaft like a PST or a Strange chromemoly unit is cheap insurance considering the damage a broken stock one will create. let alone the cost to fix that damage when it does.

That's interesting. I didn't realize they were so fragile. I haven't seen/heard of many breaking out by me. Something to keep in mind.
