no i have one now but am swapping the 27 spine yoke for a 32 spline for my trans. its just kind of shitty cause rookie mistake, broke in the rear without the rear loaded and put a nice ugly groove in it. kinda hate looking at it. i got it checked and the balance is still fine. id like to get a new one but whose gonna want my old one? probably only get 250 for it. not to mention finding someone who needs one for a 9 inch......limited market there. but humor me, is it a pst shaft? how much u want? i think it should be the same length for my t56

I essentially made a similar mistake and scored my $500 PST DS.
So got another new one from PST, but be aware that even though I specifically stated that I had the stock rearend the DS from PST came with 1350's on both ends. So on the backside you will have to remove the 1350 and replace with a conversion yoke. That will leave you with a new 1350 as a spare.
Since then I have learned that my scored driveshaft might still be salvageable. A local driveshaft shop say that they simply remove and replace the tube. Haven't gotten a price yet, so that might be an option for you instead of buying a new PST DS like I did.

My point was that getting a new tube might be cheaper than buying a new driveshaft for $500. Unfortunately I didn't know until after buying a new DS that I could have replaced the tube instead after a friend told me it would have been much cheaper to have it re-tubed.
I was also giving a head ups when ordering a DS that if you have a stock rear end, that you will want to make sure that they send it with a 1350 in the front and a conversion joint in the rear.
Of course this assumes that the half joint on the stock rear end hasn't been replaced to accept a 1350 u-joint instead.

Maybe you or someone can tell me why the stocker would be too short. Is it because of the 9" or is it because my '95 is LS converted and trans sits in a different spot than an LS car, or both?

Now that I think about it...it may be the stocker with a conversion for the 9". It came with the Moser I bought but the shaft is about 2" to short. Its only about half engaged in the trans. 27 spline.
