WTB - 59"+ driveshaft

Hoping to find a Seattle area 1 piece driveshaft to fit my SWB with SBC and short shaft T350.

It has a 700r I want to pull / rebuild and want to swap in my T350 in the mean time. Yea I could have one built but budget constraints have me on the cheap. I haven't hit the yards yet because I rarely have that kinda time.

Re: WTB - 59"+ driveshaft

Stomper, i just had a driveline built for this same combination. SWB 350/350, and mine measure 61" from tailshaft to center of rear u-joint cap.

Sorry, not looking to sell mine, just thought you might want that measurement.

Re: WTB - 59"+ driveshaft

I just picked up one today that I had built for my 700r4 swap. I took in a T350 driveshaft and it was 1/2" too short. If I was closer I could sell you the T350 one I have for the price I was going to pay another member for it. If you can't find one nearby let me know.

Thanks 68sf, 59"+ is my u-joint center/center. I have done a search on the site and 59-1/2" is stock for square body SWB trucks - which jives with what I am measuring and members have used them in our trucks. I may post over there too.

59" is probably darn close to my u-joint center-to-center. But the driveline shop wanted a number from the end of the trans tailshaft to the rear joint center, so that's the number that i remembered. Obviously the center of the front u-joint cant be exactly at the tailshaft end, but 1.5-2" back sounds about right.

Free bump for you.
