Re: What driveshaft to use on 56 Truck
Short or long wheelbase? Get a tape out and start measuring. Slide the trans yoke out about 1.5" and measure from center of universal to center of universal on the rearend. Then check the measurements from donor drivelines. If your truck is short wheel base a mid 70's truck short wheel base auto trans one might work without modification; long wheel base one will definately have enough material to work with. Around here it costs about $125 to get one shortened and balanced plus any new u joints you need.
