My Dad put a granny 4-speed with two piece driveshaft in the C10 SWB I now have. I have a three speed that I want to install, but I need to get info on the correct driveshaft (one or two piece) and the correct length. Thanks, Mike

Shipping it down there would cost more than it's worth though.

Mike, How long is the SWB driveshaft? I am planning on swapping a 1977 Malibu rear into my truck, and I am hoping the driveshaft might fit. Thanks, Another Mike
