Shoot me but I had to do it..

Sorry to hear about all the problems you've been having. Maybe the driveshaft issue will be an easy fix. I remember years ago we were on a mutual aid drill with a '59 Maxim. We were running tanker evolutions. We stopped at a stop sign and when the driver let out the clutch, BAM, the driveshaft fell. As bad as it sounds all it was was the bolts that attached the flange to the transfer case sheared. No real damage. Re-attached with new bolts and it was good as new. Fingers crossed yours is as easy a fix.
