Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

I got the shaft from MShar Powertrain in Harrisburg, PA. Tom is the guy that owns it and did a fantastic job. I did have a small issue where he thought I did not want a slip yoke on the transmission end. Thankfully, I thought ahead and brought my S10 2 piece driveshaft. In about 2 minutes he had it swapped over. Amazing what can be done with the right tools. 3" tubing. He just needed the length yoke to yoke. Quoted me $75 to shorten an existing one if I found a donor.

Also, updated Page 1 with my October one year in review post. I was actually able to sit in the truck again and imagine myself cruising down the road. I might have done it two or three times this weekend just getting that smile on my face and renewing the energy to keep building. Thanks to everyone who has read, reviewed, critiqued, and suggested over the last year. I've learned so much from you all.
