I HATE THIS WHEN THIS HAPPENS!

[sam's 72]

I took my truck for a drive last night, I came up to a red light, then took off, I heard a loud pop noise, the truck started shakeing, then I heard something hit the street, I looked in mirror and the back half of my drive shaft went sliding down the street! I coasted to a parking lot, and called my wife to come get me. Then I had to pull my 72' home with my 97' ford power stroke, I hate it when a ford has to pull a chevy, so any ways, the drive shaft is toast, I was just getting ready to put another tranny with a one piece drive shaft in it any way, I was going to do this last week, but had to take care of something else, no I am forced to do it, going to go with a 700R4 with one piece shaft, I already ahve the shaft, it is out of a 75' truck, do I need to have it cut or modified any at all to make it work with the 700r4?
