Well...it's not because of the presence of running boards....Also photo of the ******* in question, because maybe that's relevant.
We can rule that out...
Existing photo is from the passenger side of rear driveshaft carrier bearing showing it pushed backwards out of the carrier
I have never, ever seen that before...but...I was not in an area that a lot of truck modifications were running around on the streets...at least not that I noticed...
some info from the fordforum.com decoder
Can you find the build sheet..? Under one of the seats or in the glove box..?
Just thinking out loud...but...what do your engine mounts look like..?
And...have you looked at what is holding the rear axle in place...?
One other thing comes to mind...when the front part of the driveshaft is installed normally...does the slip yoke have any clearance to slide forward and backward or is it butted up against the TFC output shaft...?
