Need Driveshaft, 1970 LWB C20 with TH400 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently installed a TH400 into my LWB 1970 C20. It had a 4 speed manual before. I am looking for a driveshaft out of a LWB C20 that had a TH400. I could get my existing driveshaft shortened but I thought I might try here first to see if I could locate one instead. I am interested if you have one to sell.

Be sure to indicate which rearend you are using.
I should have one for about $75 + shipping. Might be able to just wrap it up and stick it on a bus. You can get an estimate from Grey hound from Olympia, WA 98506.

Hey PIKMUP. Sounds great. I looked underneath my LWB 1970 C20 and took a look at the rearend. It looks heavy duty. It has ten bolts on a big round differential cover. The differential case and axle housing appear to all be cast as one piece. I will take some pictures this afternoon so you can confirm.

Thanks, Jeff

I just saw another post on this site and checked a few other web sites out to investigate what type of rearend my truck has. Someone else referred to it as an Eaton rearend. Apparently they are not as common as some other rearends used in the C20. Mine has 10 bolts, looks like a big pumpkin. is round and has a round cover, and appears to have a a one piece differential and axle housing. The rear cover has a plug about half way up the cover.
