Do you know what type steel was used to fabricate the driveshaft? Maybe stress proof, 8620, or 4140/30? Was it heat treated? Considering a spare for my wife's 1988 Muskeg Carrier Diesel.

I put a toyota 20r in my bombi. Now I can take off in 5th gear. Huge improvement.
The drive shaft conversion was not bad. I just made two rings to go over the old shaft so that it would fit snug inside the other and welded the two together. Worked perfect

Cool! Is that a gas or diesel engine? I would love to see some pic of your bombi and engine swap!
