Not local...and they usually do offroad trucks...but I've heard nothing but good things about Tom Wood's Custom Driveshafts, it's worth a shot.

I wouldn't even bother trying to get one done locally. Figure out your measurements and call speedway motors. They will make them out of steel or aluminum and they are way cheaper.

Absolutely, spring menders did mine. They did a great job and it wasn't expensive. I put a th400 in my Lexus.
