Driveahaft lengths
Hey all, I'm working on my crew cab project, and ran into a bit of a snag on the driveline length. Hoping to get some info.
Current driveahaft is a 2 piece out of a 88' standard cab 2x4 with a zf and 7.3, and I want to put it into a 90' crew cab 4x4 with a zf and 7.3, are they the same length, or is the front shaft 1-2in shorter in the crew cab?
Just to be clear, just need the rear driveline measurements, I have a good front driveline.

The rear driveline is a two piece driveline with a carrier bearing in the middle, I'm referring to the front section of the rear driveline that is between the carrier bearing and the transfer case.

But yes, I believe between those two years the two piece drive line with carrier bearing only changed between the carrier bearing and transmission for different engine, transmission, SuperCab and CrewCab configurations ...
I may be incorrect and someone will correct me if I am wrong, then we'll both learn something ...

I didn't know they used a carrier bearing thus two piece drive shaft in a standard cab ... Always thought they used a one piece with no Carrier Bearing.

Here we are... Driveline out of standard cab 2x4, major difference is there's no slip yoke at the Trans end, I'll need to get one for the transfer case... The front shaft measures 28.5in from center u joint cap to carrier bearing, and 34in from middle u joint to rear u joint.
The crew cab with the 4x4 and 460 measures 25.5in from front u joint to carrier, 51.25in from center u joint to rear u joint.
Guess I'll need to take both to a driveline shop and get some cutting done
