C6 tailshaft lengths
i was wondering what tailshaft lenghts the C6 (small block bolt pattern)were all available in. My problem is that i took the transmission out my truck and took it to a place to have it rebuilt. The place who did it said the case was cracked so they rebuilt a different one. Now it would seem that my drive shaft is a bit short and i don't have the old case to compare it to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been searching this entire network for info on short/long tailshafts to no avail. I can tell you this,I have 2 '78 4X4 PU's. One is reg cab the other is extended.The extended cab PU has about a 4 to 6 inch longer tail shaft that requires a longer adapter between the C6 tranny and my NP 205 X-Fer case. There is a difference. I have been trying to find out if I can change out the tail shafts. Does the shaft go all the way thrugh th tranny or is it splined somewhere near the back of th tranny.It's sad that a rebuilder that deals with this on a daily basis tryies to prey on the un-expected consumer that just wants the job done right the first time. Thanx for your time.

This, or any blow-up image of a C6, shows the separation of the main case and the tail shaft housing:
