i amguessing the car has a long tail shft and the truck has the short tailshaft 2wd. and both will be slip in yokes for the driveshaft. no bolt on yokes? for a tuck?
There are both versions in trucks.
A bolt on flange is for a longer wheel base long box truck.
But there are some extended cabs with a long transmission as well.
It will have a centre support bearing with a slip joint in the centre.
Cars only came with a long version.
If you are installing one from either into a different vehicle pay close attention to the speedo drive count.
this is going in a long wheel base truck and it is a short tailshaft slip yoke type. is this the right way to do it? or should i hold off and look for a different one?

I have a 1975 long bed with a big block and c6. I had a slight driveline vibration for years running a 68.5 inch single shaft. I aquired a 2 piece shaft out of a 4 wd and that worked very well. It really comes down to what you are going to do with the truck, how much power etc. I pushed the 2 piece shaft to 11.73 and didn't break it, but I was nervous and greased the ujoints every week. Randy.
if i do this i do plan on the two piece design. i already have the shafts and i even have a single shaft i can rod the slip yoke off of if i have to. i dont know if the slip yoke will fit the other driveshaft. but i bet it will. if not i can always get oen that will.
Took the car out for the first time it hit the rev box at 6200rpm at 3/4 track the time slip say i ran 98mph the calculater say i should run 117mph
I HAVE A C6 3800 STALL 4.86 gears 33 tires but they measure 31inchs before changing gears I want to make sure I'm not missing something thanks...
Have done almost all ford transmissions but for some reason,a C4 has never passed across my bench.The motor is basically a stock 351 W that presently sits in front of a FMX.Anyway,the case and tailshaft have a D4 casting number but haven't checked the date. There is no tag.Anything I should look...
I have a short shaft C6 which SHOULDN'T have been available before 1977, but in looking at master rebuild kits many say up to '76 or 77 and later. The only part I can find that might have a production split like that is the modulator (screw in vs push in?).
The simple (maybe) question is...
has anyone used one of these from speed master I have seen allot of info on them and videos of them being used in street cars and pro mods, I have a 871 blown 545 with fuel injection in front of a custom built c6 with a 4k stall in a 67 custom 500, currently it has a cobra 8.8 trac loc with 4:56...
It's a big block...just the 6 cylinder one.
Turbo 300 inline six, fabricated aluminum head, 800ish ft-lbs going into the converter. Will be using a C6 and 8.8 axle, shortened the 8.8 and converted to use 9" style axle bearings and no C-clips.
Car will weigh around 2800lbs, it's a 70 Maverick...
