    86 c/10 th400 driveshaft question

    This is the type of yoke for anyone interested. It has a counterbore to allow it to slide over the o ring lip https://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p3697_2060108_cm_sonnax_forged_chromoly_1350_series_32_splines_fit.html

    86 c/10 th400 driveshaft question

    I have 2 issues with my current set up, the first being you can convert the fixed yoke to a slip yoke with a yoke that has a counterbore inside it to clear the metal lip that the o ring sits against, on a fixed yoke transmission this is much closer to the rear of the output chart than it is on...

    86 c/10 th400 driveshaft question

    I need the counterbore yoke either way, my hope was that there was a full size car or something that had a driveshaft length that worked and that someone in here knew it. Probably a long shot. second question, is there any real advantage to the single piece driveshaft and slip yoke? How hard or...

    86 c/10 th400 driveshaft question

    It’s the short shaft bolt on style yoke transmission. And yes it’s the one piece driveshaft I’m looking for. Custom length might be the only option, but there’s enough of the swaps for multiple companies to offer the slip yoke with the counter birentimclear the o ring lip that I wondered if...

They also attempted to change the bolt on yoke to a slip yoke, when the yoke hit the o ring lip on the output shaft they ground the yoke...

    Driveshaft Too short on a C10 I might buy

    Well I talked the kid down a bit more and made the drive back over there. Drove it home today. A buddy of mine knows a local guy with about a half dozen c10 driveshafts, I’m gonna test fit a couple and get an idea of the right size and get a new driveshaft. So far though, I’m in LOVE with this...

    Driveshaft Too short on a C10 I might buy

    So I went and looked at an 86 GMC Sierra short bed today that I was hoping to (and might still) buy. It would be my first square body and exactly what I’ve been wanting for so long. In the ad the kid said it needed a ujoint and was otherwise a good runner. Well he was half right. The 350 ran...
