Driveshaft clearance with a lowered truck.

I have a 1970 C10 long bed that I am lowering the front 1inch and the rear 3inch but I am wondering if you can run a one piece driveshaft with the stock trailing arm crossmember?

A GV unit make the driveshaft length shorter. Should not be an issue unil severe drops (7-8" in the rear).

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.
