70 lwb auto conversion driveshaft ?
i did research and found alot about 2 to 1 piece conversions, yet i could not nail down a donor driveshaft.
what i have is a 70 lwb i changed to an auto... running a 350 long tail as u probly already know i need to shorten my 2 piece... no problem got a shop that will do it for 77$. what i was wondering is if there is an easy 1 piece option that would be just as cost effective? any advice is appreciated thanks

$77 sounds cheaper than any one piece option out there.

if it is more than 6 foot, it's not advisable.
A 2 piece is a better design anyways. |

Re: 70 lwb auto conversion driveshaft ?
Not sure about the lwb length, but I have a 71 swb frame with a 700R4. I took the one piece shaft from my 72 lwb parts truck and had it shortened and the 700 front yolk installed and it looks and fits great, even with a 4/6 ECE drop. Haven't gotten to drive much, but no probs going to the muffler shop up the street from me. Cost was around 100 or a little less if I recall.
