Ok here's another trick if you have a late model ext cab. I got a huge aluminum drive shaft that was exact length out of a 1978 Ford F150 long bed. A buddie had it and said take it and try it for free. Its 69" long and about 5" in diameter and is very light. Just a FYI for a cheap aluminum driveshaft.
