Driveshaft info needed (trans change)
67 442, TH400
Putting a 2004r in.
I realize I need different yoke, but how much longer is the driveshaft for the 2004r?
I was told to try to find one from a 350 or jetaway, but some of the other forum members raised a couple of questions about the switch.
Any input on driveshaft issues?

The original 66-7 4 speed shaft was 60" center to center, with a stock 27-spline "powerglide size" GM yoke. If you use a late Muncie or Super T10 that takes a T400 yoke (32 spline), 59.5" is correct and 65-70 Bonneville shafts are 59.5", one piece tubing, with a Turbo 400 yoke on them. (This is just to add info for other readers).
I would get the engine/trans into the car first and measure using the yoke you plan to use on the driveshaft. Pull the ooke 1" or a max of 1.25" away from being fuly inserted into the trans, have the car at ride height, and measure the distance between centerlines of the universal joints. Then you know the shaft that is made will be correct. Remember that Olds uses a bigger u-joint than Chevy. Olds is about 3.62" across the cups, and is a stronger joint, about like the Spicer 1350 (but not interchangeable).
