Looking for a shop to make a driveshaft for me.

I have a 5.0/t-5 swapped 84 BMW e30. I have tried United Driveline in Albany, but looking for other options. I have the t-5 driveshaft and the OE bmw shaft.

Any ideas?

Got to driveline specialties in San leandro they've been there since the 70's and they know what there doing. Bring em both yokes tell them how long what diameter and they will make it happen. I had a 3" mild steel shaft made with 1350 spicer ends only cost me $250

just tell them you want a drive shaft made and they will tell you what to measure then get your measurement and go in and say "here's my measurement" and "I want this on one end ,and this on the other"

driveline specialties in pits. will be the closest to you.

Driveline Specialties will probably end up doing the driveshaft. Sucks I cant drop it off till next monday, I'll be stuck in Stockton for training.
