Would a '97-'04 drive shaft for the 145" wheel base work on a '04-'07 NBS F150?

Why am I asking? Because I want an aluminum driveshaft... I had one on my '99... it actually came stock... I want to order one, but I'm not sure if it will fit. Anyone know?

 

im pretty sure some of the new models came with aluminum (04 i think) but they broke so they went to steel...

 

My 2006 5.4L 133 inch wheelbase truck has a factory aluminum driveshaft.

 

o4s had steel, then they went to aluminum.

 

Hmmm...

Interesting.

Okay... I am gonna get ahold of my local parts dept... and order one... and they better not give me a hassle.

Looks like this will be my new mod... sort of.

 

Not true, my 05 had a steel DS and so does my 07, both were 145 WB 4x4's

 

It would prally cost less to have one custom built

 

Got a good place to get one online? As long as it's balanced and is that shiny aluminum, it's what I want.

Besides, I plan on getting heavy duty Zerked cardon joints.

You might think I'm crazy... but I keep my underbody and engine cleaner than the paint on the truck. lol

 

I got mine from www.thrashdriveshaft.com since I broke the stocker at the track, they told me the driveshaft they built would hold a 1000hp its nice I have a few pix in my gallery cost me about $430 that includes super strong ( spicer)U-joints and yoke

 

was you stock steel or aluminum

 

The stock was aluminum the new one I have is steel

 

I thought it was steel

 

I dont know what makes ford put one or the other (steel vs aluminum). My 06 150 inch WB is aluminum.

 

ManualF150 why do you NEED an Aluminum DS? I can see how it would make sense going from a steel to an Aluminum one if you were gearing toward performance and a few extra pounds mattered but in your case I cant see how it would be worth the cost to "upgrade".

 

I'll have to check in to it and get back to you.
