A Drive shaft should be sent to an Auto speed shop. A custom car shop can
usually build, balance, and test the shaft before it ever goes into your
truck. Most machine shops can't afford special drive shaft balancing

I agree with Doug. Using compressed air is probably unsafe. A safety valve
stuck on my grandfathers commercial air compressor, and it blew. Sending
shrapnel all through his Auto body shop. Luckily no one was hurt, but many

Hi friends:
You are putting yourselves in great jeopardy by testing the pressure
tolerance of 55 gal drums with air! For God sake, don't you do it.
Testing can be accomplisehd with a small water pump that can raise
water pressure sufficiently, probably 30 lbs will be enough to burst the
drum.
I pulled a 6 cylinder out of a s10 pickup and dropped in a v8. That was a
project .
It can be done, but be proficient with welding, tube bending, and farm out
the custom driveshaft work. better if you can find a kit.
