Please bear with me as my truck knowledge is in the AD era AND limited at that. My question is, isn't the driveshaft in a '58 1/2T Apache a slip spline type? If this is the case, then wouldn't there be a problem trying to bolt universal trunion or stub (whatever it's called) to the tailshaft of the Camaro transmission?

Just a thought, Are these supposedly the parts removed from this truck? I'm not addressing the 1/4" problem, persay, just trying to identify if you are working with the correct transmission. However, this may equate to the 1/4" problem.

The yokes are fined splined vs. the original coursed splined. Another problem known but soon to be dealt with.
