drive shaft help needed
Hey Guys,
I got my 240 all put back together, now I'm installing. I replaced the 3 speed light duty tranny with a T19. It all bolted together beautifully. Need to replace the drive shaft as the 3 speed had a slip yoke on the tail and the T19 doesn't. My shaft is roughly 2 inches too short.
Questions are: do I need a 2 piece shaft? Will that require a center carrier bearing? If I use a single shaft, what stops the stress on the ujoints when the rear end is bouncing over holes and or rocks? Are there any trucks out there I can just snag a drive line from?
My little puppy is a 66 f100 short wheel base, 2wd, flairside.
Thanks for the help...
