Are the 3 speed bellhousings different than the 4 speed bellhousings?

Which is shorter than the other? If it makes any difference I just realized that my 3 speed is for a car instead of the F-100 version. What is the driveshaft length for a 4 speed?

The bells are different.

Driveshaft: What year is the truck, and what is its wheelbase?

Your application calls for a 2 piece shaft. Drive Shaft in front, Coupling Shaft in rear.
