Drive shaft

Not sure if everyone saw my other post. I am doing an engine swap in my "65 F100. Changing the straight 6 / 3 speed manual for 302 / C6. I know this is a common swap and was wonder what drive shaft will work for this conversion.

Thanks,
Vince

THe C6 is probably longer than the 3 speed. When I went to 302/4speed I had to have the shaft shortened slightly. The only thing you can do I mock it up and then go have it cut down.

The c6 is a short or long shaft. The short is a ujoint bolt up and long shaft is a slip yoke.
