Re: Tie plates

Ok, so the axle will need to come out one more time... to weld perches on. I called a local driveshaft shop. They said 60 bucks to shorten driveshaft.

Question one. Pinion angle? I've replaced axles and transmissions before but it was just a straight replacement. No setting of angles or welding required. So I'm lost here. Trans crossmember is still adjustable and obviously so is axle.

Question two. How do I measure what driveshaft length I need? Same trans and rear axle and driveshaft from donor went into truck, so it all bolts up, just too long.

Probably more things I'm over thinking but maybe all my newbie questions will help someone else. I plan to add my different thread links to my build thread.
