Driveshaft length question
Hi everyone,
I appreciate all of your help in advance. I have a 1953 Ford f100. Fairly wild custom and I am just finishing fitting the drivetrain in. I have a '70 cadillac 500 backed with a turbo 400 (please my fellow ford enthusiasts dont get hostile). My question lies in hooking that to the 9 inch rear. I need a 57 inch driveshaft. I realize I could get my current driveshaft shortened or even a custom aluminum for a few hundred dollars. But it sure would be cool just to get this truck to move by finding a stock 57 inch driveshaft. Is there a magic place that might list stock driveshaft lengths of different models produced over the years?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Everyone take care....53fordbubble
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
