Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

Thank you Sprint.

Driveshaft: I need one. I've contacted a local company here in Ft Worth called American Driveshaft & Gear Specialists and plan on them making it for me. I need to choose a slip yoke for the 6L80e. Any opinions on which one? Are the 4L80e yokes the same as the 6L80e? As far as the back U joint that would be a 1310, correct? My plans for this truck are to be a daily driver, so are there any opinions on the material of driveshaft? I don't expect I'll ever want more than 450 hp.... or should I say I'll never be able to afford more than 450 hp. Aluminum is cool of course, but I won't be staring at it while I'm driving, so unless y'all know a reason I need that I'll probably go with steel.

My original 2 piece driveshaft is in great condition, any chance that could be shortened and used, either with or without the carrier bearing?

Any help will be appreciated!
