- For general information, get it where you can, a late model CV joint driveshaft was on ebay with dimensions. The driveshaft for a single rail tranny without OD was described as 37 3/4 inch compressed

- Do you mean the kind with the four sets of short metal straps on one end? They have their own weakness: The short telescoping section in the middle of the straps can seize up, or the straps can brea

- Hey Doug, Thanks for complicating matters further. Actually, of the three options I have available, I'm going for the cheapest. That being the strap type for $20.00. I see a NOS cv-joint type on ebay

- I got my three rail tranny with J type OD today. It is the same length as a single rail tranny. One inch shorter than a single rail with J type OD. The driveshaft from my '77 Spit with the single rai

- As long as the flanges mate up, you're fine. The sliding spline is to allow for various spacing between the engine/tranny assembly and differential. The distance does vary a bit and the sliding splin

- If I had t o BUY a different driveshaft, I'd probably use the one in hand with the CV joint. If I had both in hand, I think I'd use the one with two UJ's instead. The CVJ is "rebuildable", but not wi

- I've come to the stage of installing a driveshaft from my boxes of bits into my 73/74 1500 project car. I've got one with the 'bean-can' (CV joint) end, but don't know if it is standard or OD length.

- I'm doing the same swap on my '67.. The "Bean Can" as you called it goes to the front. This is also the correct driveshaft for the Single Rail tranny, I cant say if it's the same as the OD type. As
