Re: 6inch lift '72 long bed chevy k20 driveshaft?

On the last '72 K/20 I put a 6" lift kit on I had to lengthen the rear driveshaft 2" and nothing on the front. Don't go by what anyone says. I have a 6" lift to put on my '72 K2500 (same thing,but GMC) and I'm not going by my own previous experience and making the rear drive shaft 2" longer in advance. I plan on doing the lift,then measure what I need on the drive shaft. I see no reason in the world this truck would be any different than the last,but I still would measure once I'm done. It will be right there looking me in my face telling me exactly what it needs...no ifs,ands,or buts.
