I have just finished installing a 350/350 ('74 Impala) and 9 inch rearend
('77 T-Bird) into my 58 1/2 ton. The original drive shaft is too long (I
could not move the engine ahead since it would hit the steering components
(Gibbons Cordoba front cross member). Regardless, the yokes/u-joints are
different than on the original drive shaft.
Question:
Is it possible to get U-joints that have the appropriate diameter for each
the original drive shaft, T-Bird rear and chev automatic? or, do I have to
get different yokes for the drive shaft?
What might I expect to pay to have the drive shaft done? or can I just get
out my skill saw with a metal blade and my wire feed welder and do it my
self? (probably not the best idea if I don't want to replace U-joints every
100 miles)
I am in Toronto, Ontario, Canada if anyone has suggestions for a shop.
Thanks in advance.
