WTB: short bed driveshaft

Looking for a driveshaft for a shorted with a TH350. Looks like 56" or 56-3/16" center-to-center on the u-joints.

Re: WTB: short bed driveshaft

OK - let me double check the measurement this weekend. That witness mark in the center is just cosmetic - yes? Thanks.

Re: WTB: short bed driveshaft

I believe there is supposed to be 1" of play for the driveline to slide back and forth with axle travel.

Re: WTB: short bed driveshaft

Ugh. I measured the cobbled-up shaft he has and looked at Hollander.

Both are 56 3/16". Maybe the 55" are from inline six trucks? I dunno, but it looks like 55" will be too short and not get full spine engagement on the output shaft.
