tube inside a tube encased in rubber, damper effect? my '67 delta 88 has one and wondering which end the slip yoke is supposed to be on..........

 

The slip yoke goes on the solid end, The "open"
end where you can see both the tubes & the rubber damper goes towards the rear.

 

This is correct, and is also what is shown in the B/C-body PIM for 1967, but the driveshaft on my 67 Delta had the open end forward, and it still had the original U-joints with the molded plastic retainers.

 

Thank You,
the reason i was asking as I just had my drive line serviced and was told it should be reversed with the open end at the differential and closed/welded end at transmission, which they did and that it was originally opposite at the factory, what is right or does it matter? , looks better this way ........ Factory had damper/open end at transmission
