Putting a 727 out of a 78 LRE into my 1985 D150 SWB. Are there any trucks or vans to keep an eye out for in the junk yards that would fit?
This is a very low budget deal. Would it be cheaper/ easier to have mine shortened or just buy one? Never had to get any driveshaft work, so I am clueless as to price.

Looking to throw a fresh 318 with a 268/ 272 Purple Shaft cam, either a Performer or Stealth intake, headers, and a 600cfm Edelbrock carb. I would also like to drop it a couple inches. Not lowrider, more like biker low. I welcome any suggestions on those plans while you're at it.
Not going full on hot rod, just a fun cruiser and maybe tow my Duster 6 or 8 times a year.
