Bagged and 1 piece driveshaft ?

I have a 1968 Suburban with bags in place of rear coils no notch. I am going to install a Gearvendors overdrive next week and I am wondering if I can use a 1 piece shaft. The gear vendors adds 14" to the transmission length .

Sure.
As long as it will pass thru the trailing arm crossmember.
Cycle the suspension to verify it.

Would flipping the trailing arm mounts on the cross member help with clearance of worsen the problem ?

My bet would be 'make it worse'.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
