If the yoke is pointed up then the driveshaft u-joint wasn't the problem,
it was the "victim".
Steve! You bagged it! It's no longer a hot rod! Its a "SHOW" rod. You
eliminate the leaf springs right? What does the axle housing bolt to?
Your problem should be at that connection point. Usually its two large
ubolts clamping the axle housing to the top of the leaf spring on each
side, but who the hell knows on one of those slammed bagged shaved things!
