4r70w conversion

Has anyone done the 4r70w conversion? I have a 84 Flareside that I'm swapping from AOD to 4r70w. What driveshaft do I need? I know the AOD is too long and has wrong yoke

I heard the 4r70w is longer? Probably depends on what vehicle it comes from. I have never done this swap.

Brain,

When you get this all done and on the road post back how you made it happen as I am sure others will want to know.
What parts did you use?
What did you run into when doing this swap?
Would you do it again and if so what would you do differently?

Thanks
Dave ----
ps i have not done this either
