What are my options for a driveshaft can get a steel driveshaft with a new 1350 yoke for $300 bucks locally will it need balancing? Or would it be better to order one from a forum sponser?

A local shop that makes driveshafts should balance every dirveshaft they produce. If they don't, I'd be concerned. Take a look at the PST driveshafts I sell at this link. http://shop.brutespeed.com/82-02-F-B...afts_c2286.htm Bob

I went with a PST from Bob@BruteSpeed for a couple of reasons. 1. He includes an upgraded yoke at no extra charge and 2. He has an excellent reputation here. I've been pleased so far. I do prefer the lighter aluminum to steel or chromoly units.

balancing is a must on any driveshaft...

Give us a call... MWC has options on shafts and yokes from PST and Strange, and can recommend the correct combo of parts to suit your needs and budget, and the best prices you will find.
