Hey guys, i'm hoping to find a driveshaft for my scamp trying to avoid having one built was hoping to find a good used one for a reasonable price, this project is running me dry so trying to save where possible, hoping someone in the great white north has one, more specifically southern Ontario, car is a 727 to 8 3/4 with a 489 case, if you don't have one feel free to share ideas with who may or different options? thanks
 
I just took one out of a 74 Dart Sport that had a 360/727 and an 8 3/4 rear. Can you get the U-joint center to center distance? That way we can match it to the D/S that I have.

a duster /demon/ dart sport will be shorter because its a shorter wheel base than the swinger/scamp
 
how would i measure the u joint centre to centre? 47 3/4 sounds right to me, i measured it once before and that sounds about right, was hoping to find something close enough for pick up, stuff coming over the border is usually a pretty big ding at customs... thanks for the help guys
 
Crap I have just what you need, but it's already bought and paid for by my Dad. Can't back out of that deal. ;) I know it still costs, but finding one out of a truck or van and having it shortened shouldn't be too expensive. $200 or less, I would guess. The one I have I got shortened and balanced for about $100, but that was many years ago, and the fella that did it is probably 10 years in the grave now. RIP.

I knew that the Demon, Dart Sport is at 108" WB but I wasn't sure about the Scamp/Swinger models. They must be at 111" WB. The DS that I have measures approximately 44 3/16 which would be about 3" shorter than the Scamp/Swinger.
