Looking for the driveshaft length for D100, 8.75 rear with a 727. Anyone know of a chart I can refer to?

Long bed or short bed will make a difference work grin shruggy
I would much rather take a tranny yoke like your going to use on the drive shaft and slide it in the tranny and pull it back out around 3/4 inc and then measure to the center of both U joints and have the drive shaft made to those specs up work scope

I agree. Finding good undamaged driveshafts is getting more difficult these days, the old stuff is getting pretty old, and most of the new stuff won't work on the old stuff. Gene

Agreed, I just did the same thing with my Power Wagon, new shaft balanced and spicer joints/assembled all for $300


If you go this route, just remember to measure with the vehicle loaded on it's suspension/ride height, not hanging off a lift/jacks/etc
