Need help with stock drive shaft. The aluminum yokes at both ends really need to be replaced. Does anyone know if the can be welded up and re-machined for the Ujoint caps, or bored out to fit a larger cap?

Yokes are fine it’s the ears on the aluminum shaft I was referring to. Having a draft shaft shop machine them out for larger Ujoint capWait, you want to refabricate the aluminum yokes?
Or put them on lathe and bore them larger?
And hope they don't get brittle and shatter at high speed?
Do you realize the speed they spin under driving conditions?
The answer is NO. Empahtically, no.
Go to a junkyard and get a used set of yokes, some that have never been modified and install them.
Last suggestion is go to a drive shaft repair shop. Chances are they have suppliers where you/they can get new ones.

Exactly right.Drivehshaft shops can make you new driveshafts. I'm quite certain of it. What you're doing is a recipe for disaster. Hope you have good insurance coverage.
