This is a Spicer splined midship tube shaft. It's a critical driveline component that welds into a two-piece driveshaft assembly and provides the male spline that engages a slip yoke, allowing the driveshaft to change length as the suspension moves.

This is a weld-in stub shaft, not a direct-fit component for a specific truck model. It fits any heavy-duty truck or equipment using a two-piece driveshaft built with 2.5" x .083" wall tube and a matching 1.375" 16-spline slip yoke.

It is designed to work with a center support bearing and an outboard slip yoke, typically found on medium- and heavy-duty trucks with two-piece driveshafts. You would replace this when splines are worn, twisted, or damaged, or when building a new driveshaft from tube stock.
