Driveshaft help

[lance76]

Hey guys, I just completed a inline 6 to 350 swap in my 1976 c10 long bed. I also swaped the 3 speed manual to turbo 350 trans. I had to cut driveshaft down 3 inches. It still has vibration so I probably got off just a bit. I would like to do away with 2 piece and go to 1 piece driveshaft. I need a 70.5 in driveshaft and was wondering if any of you know of other vehicles have similar size, or what any of you have done in this case?

That's awful long for a single piece prop shaft. Maybe there were shafts that long in 80's Chevy Vans. Having a driveline shop re-tube it would be the best option. If they are even willing to build one 70".

did you have it balanced? I agree that would be one long one piece. it would be a bitch to balance and keep balanced. highdesertranger

I'd call these guys for a new one! Just got my set today! Plus i think 2 piece is mandatory its gotta be able to contract and extend during axle travel
