Ty Gilbert propshaft

[E.Murray]

Edit: After much help from syclone809 on here (thanks Adam!), I think we've figured it out. The Gilbert shaft can either be used with the pinion yoke (which most people do, apparently) or with an optional flange yoke which bolts right up the syty/Bravada t-case. Mine has this yoke: https://www.powertrainindustries.co...g_id=168&PHPSESSID=s9bd1eso0ia768p7heo3so85h0
Was on truck less than 5k miles. No issues. $325 shipped to lower 48.

Note: these are lighter than stock because there are made out of chromoly. Way stronger than stock.

Note 2: This is not a Gilbert propshaft since it has a mounting flange to attach it to the front differential like stock. Gilbert uses a yoke on the front differential that requires removing the 32MM pinion nut to install it in place of the flange.

It look sort of similar to the spare that I have (other than the double u joints on mine), maybe it is some sort of modded propshaft off of something else?

Hmmm, I was told it was a Gilbert when I bought the truck. The rest of it looks like the pics of Gilberts I've seen, but the flange is different. Couldn't somebody easily swap the yoke out? Ideas for what I've got? There are no identifying marks besides some Spicer markings on the ends.

Is it a rebuilt bravada shaft? Looks similar to the rpm style shown here.... http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=101408&highlight=propshaft

Re: Ty Gilbert propshaft

Looks like a modded Bravada shaft. If you weigh it you should be able to figure out what it is. Like it was said above the gilbert shaft had a different mount and lighter than stock.

Looks more like the one on the far right in this post:

Re: Ty Gilbert propshaft

See top post. I believe this is a Gilbert with a different yoke (see here: https://www.powertrainindustries.co...g_id=168&PHPSESSID=s9bd1eso0ia768p7heo3so85h0 ) so that it bolts up to the stock transfer case. Also, it weighs 14 lb complete with yoke. The Gilbert without a yoke weighs 12, so I think that works out, as well.
