Ujoints prop shaft

Are all the yokes aluminum on the 85 c4? I was thinking of using the moog 369c or dana5153x with 1.063 caps.

Can almost swear that I saw a set of steel 1/2 shafts once or twice, super rare on the most basic very early cars. With "0" option's

Action Machine will sell you a set of forged steel half shafts. I had them make me a forged steel 1350 yoke driveshaft but I'm still running the factory aluminum half shafts at the moment. Their prices are fantastic also. Their site is here. They are WAY less expensive and more reputable than Denny's.

My original question concerns the main propeller shaft, not half shafts.

yes the tail (prop) shafts are all alloy.
you cant go wrong with using quality name forged U joints like the ones you listed.
I have Spicer joints in my prop shaft.
