Top: 77ish 4speed/205

Middle: 1980 th350/205
My measurements in inches from the back of the flange to the center of the front u-joint:
Compressed, 25 3/4 inches
Extended, 28 5/16 inches

Bottom: Not sure , supposedly chevy, I paid 5 bucks for it at a swap meet
Thank you for the information,
I have seen online that the th400 is 2 3/4" longer then the th350 so I know now the proper length=28.5" th400/205.
I been confused because a GM dealer told me 29 5/8" but that measurement must have to be when bolted in place with the wheel on the ground.
28.5 plus inn travel=29 5/8 I guess??
