If you look dead center of the full pic, you see the lower portion of the transfer case, from there if you draw a straight line to the center of the hubs, you see the route the shafts would have to take, and even with a thin line, they would extend below the frame rails. And when was the last time you saw a Ford (doesn't matter which kind, just same era) and didn't see driveshafts...

If you look at the pic of the front end you can see what looks like to be a u-joint. I look at fords all day. I'm a ford man. I have seen my share of ford frame swaps too. Buddy has a mazda he swap to a ford frame and you can't see the shafts! Depends on how the swap was done if you would see a shaft.

I don't see anything that looks close to a u-joint...

Look right behind the front tire where the frame curse down you can see a very little of the front end yoke.

He's saying based of the angle of the streering shaft that it couldn't be hooked up to the other steering components to steer the axle at that angle. However, I think it's even more evident that there isn't a rear drive shaft.

The steering shaft isn't hooked up, it's out in the wheel well, that's what I was trying to point out..

psh- pro-comp is top notch quality, and would never release anything thats not tested for months, years even, and would have to bear the pro-comp blue paint.
