What's goin on fellas. Recently I blew the rear end of my 88 out and replaced it, I also found out that I need a new driveshaft due to mine being severely bent. So, I'm wondering after an unsuccessful junkyard run, are there any other vehicles besides an 86-89 Fleetwood that the driveshaft would interchange with?

Car-part.com will show interchanges. IIRC correctly, there was another GM full size that might cross. Buick or Olds. I know Caprice has the shorter wheelbase.

The problem with some junkyards is they move the cars with a rough terrain forklift.
Using the forks can damage the driveshafts.

Kinda like looking for a good gas tank in a junk yard. When most of the time they are drained by popping a hole in the bottom.

The other problem is not much of a demand so no one saves them.
Shipping may be costly.

If you could find a local private party parting their car you would be in luck.

Or if you can locate a shop that makes / modifies driveshafts to rebuild yours.
Driveline shops are more popular with the 4x4 people.
Agian local is better.

Have Denny's in New York make you a new one. I did and never looked back. Everything new , you will never have a problem with that.

Thanks guys. I ended up finding an exact match. Didn't figure out an interchange but I'm on the road!!
