Did some checking online and search engine suck these days.. basically just trying to figure out if a driveshaft from a factory 440 4-speed dana 67 Coronet will fit in a factory 440 4-speed dana Belvedere and vice versa. I know the wheel bases are different so I am thinking no but can't believe Ma Mopar would make two different shafts. Thanks.

Belvedere is 51.15", Coronet is 50.27".

Since 1963, maybe earlier, Mopar B body have had two different wheel bases, the Plymouth are usually two inches shorter wheel base than the Dodges are The K members and most of the front and rear suspension parts are the same so where do you think the extra two inches occurs between As already pointed out, don't do that

Being a longer wheelbase, I would have thought the Coronet shaft is longer than the Belvedere. X2 the spring hangers are supposed to be shorter in the front on a Plymouth.

Since the factory has too much yoke clearance on most cars. I would be tempted to try the longer driveshaft and check for clearance. Most literature will tell you 1.5" of clearance but most of the time that is more than necessary.
If a car sits low and there is very little clearance like 3/4". It will never get closer as the car's suspension compresses, only further.

I used shaft from a '69 Charger in a '69 road runner, 440 727 8 3/4 to 440 4 speed 8 3/4 with no issues.

What do you think happens when the pinion goes from pointing down to pointing up under acceleration? If you are pointing down about 4 degrees and the pinion goes to zero. It will kove the yoke forward about 1/8".
