Hey there everyone,

Ok so I am finally back from Iraq and now have my truck project to take on. After adjusting the wheel base to 85" off the back of the cab I now have 78" between the rear end and transmission. The drive shafts are 60" long (I have three of them) I know I have to use the one with the splines on one end. That leave about 18" to cover. The coupler that slips over the splines takes up about 6" of that leaving 12" left. I was going to have two drive shafts shortened to make up the distance. After called my local drive shaft shop (yes there really is one here) the guy told me that I only need to shorten one shaft (would be 12") and make sure the short shaft is on the transmission end. Does this sound about right? Thanks for any help,

Dodger
