Do you have charts for other mopars? In my case a 71 Scamp 111" WB 8 3/4 with a 904 any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great info! Do you know when they list "length" do they mean weld to weld? Or overall length? Thanks.

With the old driveshaft removed, measure the distance between the end of the transmission tailshaft housing and the leading edge of the rearend housing yoke. Contrary to myth, do not measure the driveshaft length with the rearend at full drop. Rather, have the vehicle sitting on a level surface and resting on its own weight when taking measurements.

Hot Rod article info.

Thats a dandy chart right there it says my 67 cuda with A833 and 8.75 rear should be 48.60" long. Now is that number listed center of hole to center of hole? Or overall length?

Can u please post a pic of just the '67-'69 page? It would be great to get a clearer/closer pic. Or u could send a nice pic to my smart phone where i can blow it up and still read it? Thanks, Dave

Yep my 2 driveshafts i have are one from a 67 slant sux 3 on the tree 7.25 with a 2.75" dia. tube.

And one from a 74 dart 318, A904, 7.25. With a 3.25" dia. tube.

I am wanting to shorten the darts 3.25" tube thinking it might be stronger than the 2.75" tube from the barracudas original slanty drivetrain. Am i thinking along the right lines. Bigger is better?

Ultimately the driveline in it will be 410 stroker, A833, 8.75 with 3.73s.
