Re: 700R4 Conversion FAQ

Two side notes... Vans used mechanical speedos much later than trucks. I've gotten them from early 90's vintage with cable speedos still Second point. If you have a short bed V8 truck, all you need is a driveshaft out of any later model short bed auto trans truck. GM went to the 9 inch tail TH350 in the 70's, and it's exactly the same length as a 700R4 is, and the short bed trucks had the same wheelbase and engine setment as the earlier trucks did. Every time I do a 700 swap, I just get a boneyard short bed auto driveshaft from any 80' or 90' truck. I've used them from mid 80's and my latest one is from a 92 model. If memory serves me, they are 56 inches long. I can measure the one I have in my shop right now if need be.
