Driveshaft/Transmission help
As I am getting nearer to getting Liberty to go home I am once again planning my transmission swap. I need some help getting measurements which I am unable to get since I am not home.
my truck is a 66, Fe 352, long bed, 3.03 transmission. I need the length of the transmission so I can tell the driveshaft shop how much to cut. I need from the face of the transmission to the back of the yoke. My current trans has the fixed yoke so that is what I will need a measurement of.
if needed I can get pictures of exactly what I am talking about, pulling from google. Thank you to anyone that can help me out!

Yes I have called and this is their instructions: find the difference between transmission lengths, and subtract one more inch from that for “travel” though in this case travel doesn’t not matter since it is a two price driveshaft.

The best I can measure mine it is 20" from where the transmission bolts to the bell housing to the end of the yoke. That close to the center of the u-joint.I have a 66 LWB with a 303 transmission. Hope that helps you,

The 3:03 I have out back came from a 65 LWB. It is 19 3/4 from the from the mounting face to the flat on the yoke. Considering the angle of the tape I would say 19 11/16 would be close with my tape measure. Tape measures aren't the most accurate things. Good luck.
