Driveshaft...

[Moparbaker]

Long ago my driveshaft was shortend due to replacing the 904 with a A500 & about a year back I started to feel vibrations... So I went at the pinion angle & gearbox angle, changed tires & so on... But now I'm pretty sure the inner pipe has come lose inside.

My question is: does anyone know if there's a one-pipe shaft that's 50,5 inches between the center holes of the u-joints? (to fit between a 8,1/4 axel & a A500 trans)

My stock 69 Dart Manual trans drive shaft is 50.56" long center to center.

Do you have a two piece driveshaft?

 

[Moparbaker]

Well Nat, if there's some shaft with the right length I don't have to make another one. & Dano; its a one piece from Volare/Aspen, & thanx, now I know one to go looking for.

Found this for B-bodies:
Driveshaft length chart.
...but I can't find a chart for A-bodies so many years...

Nobody who knows about a similar shart for A-body?
