we know he needs to shorten the shaft and mabey deal with flywheel/clutch. does he need a new yoke?
what else is he gonna have to do

The yoke will probably fit and shorting the drive shaft is no big deal. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,102 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 2,102 | Use the(4 bolt)side cover from the original trans if the one on the OD is indexed differently. It's probably a good time to replace the clutch. Install the electrical components, kick down switch & bracket, pull cable & drive it. Best kept secret on how to make these old trucks more efficient.
