Im putting a 8.75 in a 4 door. I have a driveshaft from a 2 door. Are they the same?
The donor was a 73 plymouth the car im working on is a 72 dodge.
I was asked to contribute money to help solve the civil unrest in Egypt, but I suspect it's some sort of pyramid scheme.

I don't believe so Chris. Floorpans and wheelbases are longer IIRC.
Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.

I get conflicting info everywhere.. lol I think "coupe" means a duster/demon.. This chart says they are the same wheelbase. http://www.valiant.org/dart/1972.htmlThey don't have the same chart for plymouth..I kinda remember reading that there was a slight wheelbase differance between dodge and plymouth.. but i could be thinking of satellite vs coronet or something :-/ I guess the only way to find out is to just try and bolt in the driveshaft and see what happens.

Sorry Patrick, how does a 74 model year fit the OP's question?
I answered your statement based on the OP's request. No biggie.
