Re: 76 chevy full size driveline question

No with a four inch the driveline will work, that is if you feel comfortable with a 1/2 in to an inch left on your outputshaft,(usually you have like 3 inches in there) go for it,

but dont start crying when you drop a line on the freeway/offroad and ruin your line and or exhaust/tank/bed/wires, and possibly ruin your tail shaft gears ,,its made to be a certain length, , i'm playing this driveline game right now, ,

all im saying is that
with my 208 tranfercase it worked (still had like almost two inches) but now with this new tranny and 205 it wont, with the 208 you could probably use a burban driveline for a longbed truck, but with my 205 it is on end,

if you do your lift put the driveline in (if it fits) and then push up and down on the line by the transfercase, if it moves excessively and you can hear a (click, click, click) then its too short, get a longer on, , , it will work ..... sorta.... but who knows how long
