I bought a pair from them...$125 plus shipping.
They are brand new and complete with Heavy duty u-joints and flange.
Balanced and 3 inch tubes.
I haven't put them in yet cause the car is STILL AT THE PAINTERS.
BUT, THE AT LEAST LOOK GREAT.

I'm beginning to wonder..... when I took my rear apart I found that the yokes hit the differential and "machined" the differential.... I wonder if my half shafts are 1/4" too long... I mean if there are different length shafts (13.5" and 13.75") then it's possible somebody installed the wrong shafts on my vette....hmmm, I'l take some measurements tomorrow after breakfast....

Just measured mine: from center hole to center hole it's 13.75"
The side yokes are very close to the differential, almost make contact... I would be happier with 13.5" long half shafts to get 1/4" more clearance at the yokes.
Are you sure that the half shafts are normally 13.5" long ???
... confused....

The side yokes are supposed to be that close. The ends of them sit against a pin inside the differential with a c clip to stop them from pulling out of the differential. You cant use a shorter half shaft to leave more clearance.

I got a reponse on the NCRS site, and someone said they were all
15 5/16" tip to tip from the outside of the forgings where the ujoints install. He also said that 3" dia were standard replacements after about ~80.
Mine were pretty close to that measurment, when I checked real quick.
