Drive shaft - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was able to reuse the old driveshaft by swapping out yoke. Only issue is I think it may be a tad too short.

When measuring shaft I inserted new yoke and pulled it out 3/4 of an inch. I measured 56”. The old drive shaft is 55”.

So it’s an inch too short than what I thought I’d need. The yoke is in about 3” to 3.5”.

Is this going to be a problem? I’m not gonna be racing it, but I do expect to drive it frequently and tow cars every now and then.
