I would like to know if it was a 1 piece with a sliding tube or 2 piece. Also if anyone would know the length?

My brother had a '68 short bed C10. Came from the factory with 327 and SM465. Coil springs with trailing arms.

His had a 2-piece heavy duty drive shaft. It survive some intense punishment...

Well that is that gave me more input. I am wondering if the driveshaft out of a longbox with a th350 or saginaw will fit in a shortbox with the SM465 being that the SM465 is about a foot short than the 350.

I don't know, but I highly doubt it. That's a lot more driveshaft...
