**truckdude239** · 12-07-2010, 01:56 PM

i was told for my 71 c-10 i'd want a turbo 350 with long tail shaft or a th400 with longtail shaft so i can reuse my driveshaft does this sound right?

71 c-10 lwb

cdowns · 12-07-2010, 02:21 PM

all these trucks came stock with short tailshaft 350 tranny i'm not sure with the 400 what tailshft

350 and 400 tranny need different driveshafts

Ronnny · 12-07-2010, 06:03 PM

My 68 lwb came with a 400 which i thought only had a short tail. Did not know it had different ones like the 350 had over time.

If your truck had a long shaft tranny installed at one point, then your info is correct that this is what you need to locate. However, as stated above, the original TH350s in the 69 - 72 trucks were in fact, short tailshaft assemblies.

okay i am tryign to figure out what i need to convert i got the column linkage brake pedal

just need the trans cross member and lines and tv cable

so i need a th350 with short tail? do i need a whole another drive shaft or yoke?

**truckdude239** · 12-07-2010, 06:13 PM

longhorn nope just the stock 3 speed manual

cdowns · 12-07-2010, 06:51 PM

th350 doesnt have a tv cable it's got a kickdown ca

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2010, 07:22 PM

you'll need a cooler and lines. A rad with a built in cooler is prefered

**truckdude239** · 12-07-2010, 10:15 PM

yeah i know i call them all the same thing lol

raycow · 12-11-2010, 05:18 AM

If you have a 3 speed manual now and you want to keep the same driveshaft you need a short TH350.

**truckdude239** · 12-11-2010, 10:57 AM

kk thats what i wanted to know

**FL71C10** · 01-01-2011, 09:32 PM

I'm in sort of the same situation. I have a 350 long water pmup motor with a turbo 350. The tailshaft measures 9". Is that a long tail or short tail?

I have a driveshaft from a 68 6 cyl 3 speed manual trans truck. Should that fit my transmission? It doesn't seem to go in too easily.

Thanks!

camaney · 01-01-2011, 10:28 PM

He the th350 I took out couple weeks ago it's 6in tail. Why not put a 200 4r or 700 4r? I put a 200 r4 overdrive

Well I already own the th350 and want to get the truck running with that.
