has anybody run a two piece drive shaft in a 49f1. my 390 and c6 are ready to come out and forgot it had a two piece shaft until I crawled under it this morning.

 

I wouldn't run a two piece unless I had to.

 

my c6 has a fixed yoke and it is from a 1969 f250 truck. I could try it or find a bell housing and flex plate that would fit a fmx that I have. if I make a cross member for the carrier bearing it may work but I will need the rear shaft cut to fit. one thing after another but if it was all was easy anybody could do it

 

Or have a driveshaft with a slip yoke made to fit...

 

You may be able to source another C6 with a slip yoke I think they made them later in the 70's if you can get the drive shaft too then just have that shortened?

 

being on disability and money is tight so I will run it since I know it's a good tranny. I don't know why I didn't think of running a shaft with a slip joint. Thanks' for the reminder of using one
