Send torque to the front axle of your 1979 Ford truck with the Dorman - OE Solutions Front 1-Piece Steel Driveshaft Assembly, part number 938-318. This front driveshaft transfers rotational power toward the front differential and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1979 Ford F-250 and F-350 (All engines), arriving fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced for a straightforward install.

  • Premium DOM steel shaft: made from drawn-over-mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing for superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and more torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
  • All-new construction: built with 100% new — not remanufactured — tubing, yokes, and U-joints, with a universal joint at each end.
  • Serviceable design: greaseable, with a slip yoke and adjustable overall length.
  • Ready to install: ships in protective foam-in-place packaging.

The 1-piece assembly measures 2.5 in in shaft diameter with a 0.083 in wall thickness, a compressed length of 27.75 in, and an overall driveshaft length of 29.25 in. The axle nut is not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Made in the United States.
