Question Getting the Shaft

I am building a 67 short bed using a 72 short bed frame and a 67 cab and front clip, the 67 has a home grown 327 and a turbo 350, the donor frame has a latter model rear end (based on the fact that someone moved one of the shock mounts from the back of the tube to the front) (maybe 73) anyway would a 73 short bed drive shaft work or am I bound for a trip to the drive line shop.

Re: Getting the Shaft

A good parts dealer can match/mis matched a universal u-joint with what you need. They are slightly more expensive about $22 sometimes they need to order it. All you need is correct length shaft.

Re: Getting the Shaft

I would think a Bastard joint would solve connecting the two.

About the length; I am not sure.
