I just finished a T-5 swap in my 46 1/2 ton. I have 12 bolt rear end. Everthing work great exept, I think my driveshaft is too short. I had a shop build it for me. It was too long, no problem right! Just cut it, now it is too short, it works but there is just a slight wiggle at the transmission. I think the Yoke was wrong to begin with. Does anyone have a part number or some info to identify the right yoke to buy and were to buy it.
thanks

I can't speak to the 46 model truck but the driveshaft from the shortbed S10 pickup was a near perfect fit for the AD truck using a Camaro diff. The S10 SB will have the correct yoke and the U-joint bolted up to the Camaro pinion yoke. On the AD truck moving the diff 1/2" to the rear helps center the wheel in the wheelwell and eliminates the need to modify the stock S10 shortbed driveshaft. This may or may not help you with your setup but the S10 driveshafts are plentiful, cheap and will have the correct yoke and U-joint. You may get lucky.

Be sure to have the weight of the truck on the rear wheels when you fit or measure for the driveshaft. There shouldn't be any "slop" in the yoke when the driveshaft is in place.
