need help with some driveshaft information
 
I need some help with the driveshaft situation on our '80 project. We are running a 6l90e with the stock 12 bolt rear end. The stock driveshaft is a perfect fit length wise for our project, but as I'm sure you know, the yoke on the 6l90 is huge. Anyone know if anyone makes an adapter ujoint that will convert the two, or will I need to have a new shaft made? Thank you

if you take the yoke and shaft to a driveshaft shop they should be able to either provide you a u joint or cut and reweld the yoke so it will work

Contact Spicer: http://spicerparts.com/

Spicer makes great u-joints. I've never had one fail. My truck destoyed cheaper joints in only a few hundred miles. Torque will eat joints very fast!!
