where are you guys buying your yokes and end yokes for building one piece driveshafts?

uh usually you just take them off your old 2 piece shit, take it to the driveshaft place, and they cut the ends off and make a one piece.

The driveshaft places can renew your yokes. I think that might be your best bet, or i'm not sure.

OK. so. I have an s13 driveshaft. which means I have that stupid rubber bullshit on the front yoke. I could get an s14 driveshaft and cut it apart and make a one piece driveshaft, but thats lame. I dont want a driveshaft with un changeable u joints.
that is why I am searching for fresh yokes and end yokes so I can make a nice driveshaft because thats what I do, I make stuff. I dont need to spend 300 some dollars for a driveshaft shop piece when Im probably gonna break a few of these anyways.

They made me a driveshaft for my VQ swap... Both yokes have removeable/replaceable ujoints... They were very helpfull, would definitely recommend.
