I am installing a 350 small block and turbo 350 in a 1950 Chevy Truck. The truck has been lowered. It looks like there could be a clearance issues with the driveshaft and center cross member (between cab and bed?) Has anyone ever run into this and what would be the best solution?

Should not be any problem. If there is then you have the truck too low to begin with.

Strangley enough, I just installed my drive shaft today. I put in a small block/350 turbo and a 76 Olds 442 rear end.The driveshaft just dropped right in and no clearance problems.
