Kinda a 911 in Casa Grande AZ - Driveshaft?

[whisperer]

THIS HAS BEEN FIXED - Thanks.



My daughter is broke down in Casa Grande AZ because the carrier bearing froze and tore up the front driveshaft. I'm 3000 miles away. The truck is a 96 Mazda B2300 2wd 5 spd Xcab. Anybody have one of these somewhere close to local?
Also, I did search, but won't a later 1 peice driveshaft bolt right in to replace all the 2 piece stuff and carrier bearing?

Ive always had 1 pieces built after trouble with them if the driveshaft angles are acceptable.

The '98-up one piece for a 2wd will bolt-in once you remove the pedestal for the center bearing, but it MUST be a one piece shaft for a 5sp trans.

the one for the auto is not only a different spline but a different length.

Thanks Allan, at least that gives me a better option. I assume that the Xcab and standard cab also have different lengths so for a 1 peice I will need a 98+ Xcab 5 speed driveline?
