driveshaft question
#1
driveshaft measurement
Is the driveshaft for a '68 Cutlass S going to be the same as one for a '68 442?
The idiot who was working on my car lost my driveshaft (including new U-joints), and now need to find a new one.

Only if the 442 was a stick car. I assume your car has a th350 trans. If the 442 was an auto it should have a th400 which would be a shorter shaft. Why not just have the shop pay for a new one. Would not cost more then $300 tops. Jkaz

Sorry, this probably isn't completely helpful. Good news is that any 68-72 A-body driveshaft that fits the same trans and rear axle will bolt in.

My 442 is a stick car. The Cutlass was an auto. Both 2 doors. So I'm guessing it might work?
They're not going to pay for it because they're a bunch of clowns. I'll end up having to take them to court, and at the end of the day, would then have to attempt to collect the money from them. If I was in the same state, I would probably do this. However, attempting to deal with it across the country is just not worth my effort.

OK guys, hopefully someone with a '68 442 4-speed can help me out here (or someone with a manual--both of mine are in AZ at the moment).
I need the correct length of the driveshaft for this car. I found a bunch of Olds driveshafts, but need to know the length to choose the right one.
Thanks
