So I may pull the trigger on a 700 here really soon, is there a company out there that supplies ready-made driveshafts for our 67-72 Chevys with a 700? And while I am askin what about a crossmember? Lookin for that as well. Thanks guys

Tryin to get this beast done by March for the "Run to the Sun" so I can shakedown any problems before the real road trip!!!

sas far as driveshaft it depends what tranny you have in there now ? if you have a turbo350 it is best to just take to a local shop and have it shortened the couple inches needed and aat the same time have it balanced

A stock 67-72 auto crossmember works fine, Actually better than most aftermarket crossmembers.

Always, I mean Always Measure the driveshaft length!

Here a form you can fill out & take to the DS shop,
