Driveshaft??????????
I am putting the 350/TH350 from an 81 Camaro into my 1984 C10 LWB truck. I know I have to move the tranny xmember forward to accomodate the TH350, but the driveshaft will have to be 3" longer now. Any ideas on a vehicle to get a shaft from? Does anyone have one for sale?

since these trucks came with 350.th350 combos there should be shafts available... perhaps at the junk yard

You'll have to go with a 2 piece driveshaft unless the new tran has a long tailpeice, even with the long tail the 1 piece driveshafts are so long they wobble at highway speed

I realize that some of these came with the 350/th350 combo, but this TH350 is from a 1981 camaro, and I believe it is 3" shorter than the TH350m that came in these trucks.

ya know your eright you have to measure the tail shaft on the thing to see which one ya have the long is like 9 1/2 inches the shorter one is like six inches or so the shaft i have is for a long tail.
