2 piece driveline to 1 poece??

[racer6]

i'm buying a 67 lwb chevy trk, biult up motor and tranny, it has a 2 piece driveline w/ carrier bearing....can this be converted over to a 1 piece custom driveshaft with driveshaft loop installed, primary used for trophy class racing and street cruising....thanks, jim

welcome to the board from daytona beach
you'll find that on a lwb truck the drive shaft is too long to have a 1piece unit but if you do a search there are places that build performance heavyduty ones

Welcome from sunny central ohio.
There is nothing wrong with a properly assembled 2 pc shaft. I kne a guy running high 12's with a stock 2 pc in a 67 LWB. When he put slicks on it, the track made him install 2 safety loops.

A neighbor of mine had a one pc. shaft done for his LWB '77 Chevy truck. The driveline shop said it HAD to be done in 4" material.

It's lasted fine behind his 454".

thanks for the input, the trk has a mild biult 350, 30 over, backed by a 400 turbo w/ shift kit and 3000 stall pushed by a 373 posi....runs decent, gonna try trophy class and maybe some bracket, who knows yet......i was just wondering if the drivelione would hold up with the 2 piece... i have no problem going to a 4" shaft if neccessary, lite wieght yet heavy duty....if anybody is interested, i can post specs of the motor.......we are just locals playing in springfield, mo.........me and the wife just wanna have fun!!!!!!!!!!!11
