[Tigers] Llooking at a car/restoration and parts $$$..... Part 2 of 2

[Smit, Theo]

Any competent driveshaft shop can change the length of a driveshaft or
build you one from scratch. However, since the spline size and output
shaft diameters of the Ford T-5 and the toploader are the same, you can
use the original driveshaft. I think the T5 tailhousing and shaft are a
little shorter than the toploader, so the spline engagement isn't quite
as good with the T5 as it is with the toploader if you use the original
driveshaft.

Can the stock drive shaft and the drive shaft for the 5 speed be spliced
to accommodate this or is it not the correct thing to do??
