Being a tightwad and always trying to find ways to use existing parts from something else, I started looking for a driveshaft that would fit, without having it cut to size. That is when I found that there was little informatin about driveshaft lengths available. So in the process of looking on the internet, measuring actual driveshafts and talking to people, I have compiled a list of driveshaft dimensions and thought I could save someone else some work by listing them here. Please verify the actual measurments before purchasing one of these driveshafts. I did not measure everyone on this list. Some of these dimensions were taken at face value given by others.
All measurements are ujoint to ujoint center line.
1964 Chevy swb truck 61"
1996 Astro van rwd 50"
1980 chev swb truck w/ long tail shaft 57"
1985 Olds Delta 88 57"
1985-85 Chev swb truck w/ 700r & 350 trans 55 1/2"
1974 Chev swb truck w/350 long tail shaft 56 1/2"
1974 Chev swb truck w/ 350 short tail shaft 59 1/2"
1984 Chev swb truck w/700r 54 1/2"
1992 Chev swb truck 59"
1973-81 Jimmy/Blazer w/ 4 spd 53 3/4"
1984 Olds Cutlass 54"
1979 Camaro w/ 350 48 1/2"
1977-80 Caddillac V8 52"
1975-80 Granada/Monarch V8 53 13/64"
1970 Chevelle 55 1/2" (I found another Chevelle driveshaft that was 1/8" longer and was told some were longer than that, but I don't know what years)
I know some of these dimensions seem to contradict each other. I'm just listing what I have gleaned from different websits. The 70 Chevelle I have and I used a Chevelle ds that was 1/8" longer than the 70. I hope this list at least helps someont get started on finding what they need. Roy
