Re: Driveshaft length

If you have a lwb with a 700R4, you can use a drive shaft out of a lwb chevy truck in later years. I measured one at the yard one day and it was about the lenth I needed but I wasn't really doing it accuratly. If you know someone that has a newer truck with a 700R4 with an 8ft bed, try measuring that and see if it will work. Other then that you have to measure from the rear yolk to the end of the tranny. If you ask a driveline shop they will tell you where they want you to measure from. If you use one from a newer truck it will be a one piece.
