Good morning. I have a 1968 C50 Chevrolet grain truck that needs a new drive shaft. I have a 1964 C60 Chevrolet for parts. Will the drive shaft from the 64 fit the 68?

Thanks

I often wonder how people reach solutions to problems. The OP takes the time to turn on his computer, connect to the internet, sign on to Stovebolt.com and post his question to the public and wait for an answer.
Dale takes out his tape measure and knows the answer in seconds. I find the two different processes a very interesting study on the approach to problem solving in general. New school vs. Old school I guess.

This is from memory and admittedly that is not what it used to be but I think you'll find that the C50 has a Spicer 1410 series
joint and the C60 uses a 1480 series. Therefore it would be an incorrect application even if it did fit lengthwise. Tube size may also be different. The bearing cap on the 1480 is larger than the 1410 so slip yokes won't interchange either.

C50 Chev weren't very heavy trucks and about what a 4500 is today, approx 14-15000 GVW as a base model.

Thanks, I'll take a closer look in comparison underneath.
