Hey all..... Well..getting very close on putting my 2004r in my truck.. I did a complet check<cleaned & painted it.. Putting the lockup switch this week into the trans and have everything for the trans..."except" im gonna need a drive shaft for a 350trans.. I know the yoke is the same as the 2004r as for the 350turbo.... Now, the 400 trans i have is longer then the 350/2004r.

I have messured the shaft that its there rite now with the th400. from rear-universal joint to the front universal joint is just over 54".

Any ideas on the length of the standard 350 driveshaft is???? I read its 59.5" long....Is this correct. And im sure all short beds from'73-87 will work. Any suggestions...would be much appreciate it.. Cause there's a truchshow in Carlisle,Pa. on August 1-4th..gonna try there..but will call the junk yards before then. Thanks!!
