Driveshaft help
Hey all, I've been piecing together my 67 f100 short bed for a couple of years now. I've got a T18 (not from this truck) and a rear axle from a 74 f100(supposedly).
My question is, what driveshaft can I use? The T18 does not have a slip yoke so I'll need a two piece driveshaft or can I change the tail housing to make it easier? I've been trying to find answers on my own but haven't had much success.

A two piece driveline has a center support bearing and middle u-joint, the one piece does not and can be either a slip yoke or slip joint style.
Once you get the drivetrain installed, contact a local driveshaft shop. They will give you details on how to properly measure for what you need, and can make you a driveshaft to fit.
