Another driveshaft question!
What do I have to do to put a 1 piece driveshaft in my 70 SWB w/350/350? Is there a GM driveshaft I can buy, or do I need to have one made?

It'll probably be easiest to just have one custom made. I had one made for my setup, ran me about $250. Made perfect for my truck/drivetrain combo

krue, it might be cheaper to find a one piece from a 4x4, and have it shortened to the correct length. That would only require two cuts, one weld, and balance.

not sure on length, but you should look at chev vans too.

If you have the engine in the stock location, and a short shaft TH350, you'll need a 4 foot 10 inch shaft.

Check wrecking yards. I found one in a 68 behind a Saginaw 4speed.

I used one from a chevy car for my 68 shortbox fleet truck. It was just the right length. Sorry though I cannot remember for the life of me which car I pulled it out of though and I have long since sold that truck. I would take the length you need and hit the salvage yards in search of one, you might get lucky.
