So, Did you ever make any?? :)

The ones currently in it have less than 300 miles on them, the guy at that drive shaft shop said they were "Heavy duty 1 ton U joints" I looked at them, they say made in USA, so that's comforting. I might just run these U joints, and if I get a new tube go to 3" tube. I Never knew there was so...

I agree, bigger and stronger is always better. Can I change the Pinion yoke with the 3rd member still in the car? (I've never done that before)

The slip yoke I have is about 6" long or so, is this a normal length for an A body? Since this one has a groove in it, I think it needs replaced. The slip yoke is actually out of a small motorhome, along with the engine block and transmission.

I I stabbed it in, backed out 1", its 48.5" just like @Oldmanmopar said. Jeez, there's some smart guys on here! I guess it's timeto cough up the cash for a new shaft. I sure appreciate all the help guys! :)

Okay guys, I looks like I'm at 47-5/8 CL U joints. (I measured from back of joints, see pics) I stabbed it back into the transmission and it felt like a mile went in, I tried to mark a reference point but couldnt seem to get a consistent measurement (user error) Also, I noticed my slip yoke had...

Okay, measured drive shaft, it is 47.375"- 47.25" CL of U joints. (UGH) Looks like its time for a new driveshaft. I did some calling and I was asked about my engine size, I know this was being used to know the wall thickness of tube to use. So now I have another random question, how much HP is...

T thank you for all the help!

I have had a strange vibration that is somewhat pulsating and increases with speed. In your opinion, could this be the culprit?

A-727 and 8-3/4. So I have a little over double what I should have eh?

Also,,,, Is 1-1/2" of yoke shaft sticking out of transmission too much? This is measured from the back of the U joint yoke to the rubber transmission tip.

Thank you!! Looks like my mount needed a little tweaking to fit (quality control issue) Its in!

Hey, can someone tell me if I'm putting this thing in the correct direction? I have the crossmember mounted with the open side to the back, but now the bolt holes to the transmission is too far forward (it seems the trans it too far back?) let me know your guys thoughts!
