2 piece drive shaft
This is to show what you need for a 700-r4 install in a long bed with 2 piece drive shaft.
This picture shows both my shafts, I now have 2 for the truck. The one on the right is a 20 year old shaft that the same shop did for me.  You need a measurement from the end of the output shaft on the trans mission to the center of bearing mount. This was 33 1/2" for mine. Picture is for referance only.  The back half stays the same. Overall length is 74" total.

Re: 2 piece drive shaft
Yep, I'm getting ready to put in a 700r as soon as the trany guy gets it done, then I have to get the shaft cut, but everyone says it will be worth the trouble!

Re: 2 piece drive shaft
I wouldn't have it any other way for mine. Mine is driven daily and gets 18 MPG just back and forth to work. I have a stock 87 TPI 305 HO motor in it. I love it.
