Default Rear driveshaft cracked
Was replacing u joints on both driveshafts on 81 k10, and got to the rear driveshaft and there is a significant crack in the yoke going to the rear diff. Is this something I can weld or do I need to get a new drive shaft? Thanks for the help

Take it to a driveshaft shop. They can remove the broken yoke and weld a new one in it's place. They will also balance it.
