Question Front driveshaft length

My wife's friend's husband; has a 75 F250. It has a divorced transfer case, I have seen it, and a stick transmission. She says, my wifes friend, that the engine is bigger than a 400. I don't think so. Anyway; He twisted his front driveshaft awhile ago, and she wants to buy him a new one as a surprise present. She ased me to find her one. Q- If there was an engine swap would you need to relocate the transfer case? It's divorced, so it would make sense to me to change just the jackshaft, not all of them. I know all I need is a measurement of the old shaft, but I don't want him catching me under his rig with a tapemeasure. I wouldn't want to catch any of my wifes friends hushbands under my truck! So any thoughts?Thanx

Front driveshaft length

A "gift certificate" at the local driveline shop would work too...

Front driveshaft length

Is the 1975 F250 front driveshaft different than an F100? Has someone put a 460 in the truck? I have a driiveshaft off of an F100 1975.
