87 xcab b2600 rear drive shaft issues

so my rear drive shaft is making some god awful noises under acceleration. my joints seems to be okay although the whole thing has some play in it. like i can grab it and it twists a little side to side evenly from transfer case to diff. i have a feeling its the center carrier bearing. it makes a metalic creaking rattleing noise and its been getting steadily worse as its my daily driver. so i mean i know its bad. i just wanna replace all the joints and center bearing but would rather just get a doner drive shaft. they have a 93 for parts not too far from me on cl but im not sure if parts like that would be the same. and to be honest im hoping its not my diff :/ thanks for your time if you have any insights

If the rubber is still good, you can get just the bearing for less than $20.
If you need the whole thing, you'll have to search pretty good.
And you may need a bank loan!

I just ordered a reman one from ,$460 shipped includes $60 core charge and return label. been having the same problem with my b2200 but no parts trucks in sight, recyclers want $100 for driveshaft and shops want $475 to refurb and balance

The center u joint is easy to do, the ones at the yoke at the transmission, and at the rear axle are supposed to be non replacible u joints. Carrier bearing is easy to do as well, I replaced mine, and the carrier was like $50 bucks. Drivelines nw in washington carries them, and does ship. I know I recommended them to toddluck for his nissan carrier bearing and I think he said his was like $43 bucks, and he had it within a few days time...

Call the everett one. That's who I dealt with and who generally ships the parts out. Granted this was 2 years ago so shipping might come from a different location but those people in everett were very eager to help

Thanks for the replies. Selling my old beater for 500 bucks this tuesday so i'll have the cash. Gonna get new ball joints and at least a center bearing.
