driveshaft
I want to put the powerglide automatic transmission out of my 66 donor truck (c-20) in my 66 c-10 shortbed. I need to find a driveshaft that will fit. Any ideas? Both trucks have driveshafts in them now. Both trucks are inline 6

Re: driveshaft
If the Powerglide needs rebuilt, I wouldn't waste my money on one. Putting your money into a TH350 would be money better spent IMO. In fact a TH350 may even cost less. A TH350 will make your truck nicer to drive than with a Powerglide.

Re: driveshaft
I think the pg we rebuilt for my dads 55 chevy was about $900, and it still doesn't work right... wish he had gone wit the th350 like he originally planned, or even the standard 3 speed.
I think the 3 speed and pg use the same length drive shaft. I put a th350 in my long box 63 (2 piece driveshaft) and I used the front driveshaft out of a 3 speed long box. your short box might have a 1 piece drive shaft? my 61 short step with a 3 speed manual has a 1 piece driveshaft however my 64 suburban with a 3 speed manual (same wheelbase) had a 2 piece, and it also had the light duty center bearing. I would do some measuring, and check out the yoke , pg compared to the manual, if they are different , that might be the only piece you need to change.

Re: driveshaft
And that will hook up to the 6 cylinder engine?

Re: driveshaft
Yes. The 230/250 and 292 I6 engines have the same bellhousing bolt pattern as all small blocks, all big blocks and 90 degree V6's.
I thought about recommending the 700R4, but those are a little spendy to have built right and then you have to figure out how to mount and correctly adjust the TV cable. To my knowledge no one makes a TV cable/bracket kit for the I6 unless you are running a 4 barrel carb.

Re: driveshaft
T5 5 speed is a common 6 cylinder swap and I believe you need to have you driveshaft shortened for that. I'd do the auto, or a t5. Personally I like shifting my own gears so I picked a tko600 for my 292 build.
