Re: driveshaft options
Here goes...with the truck on the ground , with all the weight on it (or on stands, with proper weight bias)...make sure it has the same rake, as on the ground? Bolt a u-joint to the pinion yolk, & use the proper trans yolk, with u -joint pressed in. Shove the yolk all the way to the bottom in the trans, mark with a 'sharpie"....then pull it back 3/4" min, to 1" max & make another reference mark. At this point, you can measure center to center on the caps & have the shaft built. This is the only way it will be "right on", as other guys have stated, there just are to many variables, on engine placement/trans lengths,ect  Longhorn
