well its different being a manual shaft cuz the rear shaft can just slip off the end of the front and fall off, and if it does thne its gonna do some major damage to under truck, will hit frame rails and bed floor and such until the axle stops turning
anyone else ? anyone that can measure this for me under their 4 speed truck ? thanks ------------------ Randy- Lincoln, IL randy@ccaonline.com 2177353230 *many GM parts bought, traded, or sold -am parting out: '81 Cutlass Supreme Brougham current fleet: -71 C-10 350/CH465/3.07- basketcase -90 Cavalier 2.2L sky blue -84 Z28 5.0L/700R4/3.73 daily driver -84 Firebird/SE 2.8L/T-5/3.73/engine bad -82 purple Trans Am, project #2 *Paint is overrated* © RSS Enterprises 2000 |

I have a 4 speed/coil rear in my '68 c20.
When I swapped from HO52 to Dana 60, I had to shorten the rear shaft 1.75" to make it fit. I kept the same amout of spline engagement as original, which had about 1/2" of splines showing. Don't drive the truck with too much spline uncovered, it will probably wobble real bad and could trash both front and rear shafts. Before I shortened my original shaft I checked another shaft I had on hand, but it was too short by a few inches. I have no idea what it came from, but I still have it. It looks to be about 26.25" from eye to eye. ------------------ '68 C20 - fresh 355,CH465,Dana 60, front disc brakes, rough body '71 C20 parts truck '68 Chevelle ragtop project '57 Belair hardtop project tons of ambition

Still have it. Still has the female splined yoke on it, too. I'm moving from Fla to Ga in a few weeks so give a shout if this shaft might work for you, then I won't haul it to the dump.
