driveshaft questions

so I have a 1picece driveshaft out of a 77 f150 400 c6 long bed truck, will it fit my 73 f100 390 C6 truck?

C6 transmissions have a 31-spline output shaft.

Check if the same rear U-joint (part number) is used in both trucks.

Measure the length of the driveshaft, centerlines the U-joint caps.

If you have access to the 77, measure the location of the transmission crossmember and verify that it is in the same position as your 73.

Post back your conclusion.

will do, sadly the 77 got scraped, so I may just need to simply hold the 77 drive shat up to the 73.

HIO Silver it will fit, now the question is would I be better off with the one piece or the two piece I currently have?
