I'm shur this has been addressed before in another thread or post however I have no idea where to find it and haven't found anything relating to it my bronco II has a manual trans (FM145) and manual transfer case (1350) I need a front drive shaft and can't seem to find it anywhere new or used wondering if I can pull one from a different vehicle (explorer, ranger, ect) can I pull one from a rando and cut it down (if so what size do I need. I'm not very keen on how the driveshaft Marrys up.

I would check with Broncograveyard. They don’t specifically list the front for the FM145 but their listing for the front for automatic is not correct either. They reference it as a GKN but it’s not. Give them a call. It could just be misprint. I believe these shafts come directly from the manufacturer and perhaps they could make the one you need.

Looking in my barn I found one. It’s off an 85 Bronco II with a FM 145 transmission. I have swapped a Dana 35 front axle in it and the driveshaft will no longer fits my setup. I’m willing to part with it. Let me know if you want it. However you should be able to have any driveshaft shop make you a new one.

As far all getting one off another rig. A4LD and Fm146 are longer assembles and won’t work. I’m unsure about the C5 model, but I believe it is shorter.
