72 driveshaft question
I have a 72 lwb that has a 350 turbo trans in it. I am putting the running gear
from the 72 lwb on a swb frame and will be useing a 400 turbo trans out of a 77 c20. The yoke on the 400 is bolted to the output shaft to keep it from moving in and out. Can I just take the bolt out of the yoke and cut the front driveshaft down or will I need a different shaft? Thanks Jim |

Re: 72 driveshaft question
You should be ok if the yoke you are using is long enough to slide in and out.
We put a transmission in a truck with the bolted yoke that the output shaft was not threaded on and it works fine. The hole in the yoke was closed to prevent leakage. Jim
