driveshaft measures
hi, i'm uprating my '77 driveline...i'm swapping in a new 4 speed super t-10 trans and i will change the driveshaft too, should i wait to make the measurements of the driveshaft after i change the trans or could i take them now with the old t-10 trans before i take it out? also, i've contacted tom's for uprating the rear axle but it's a week and i never had a reply, maybe they're too busy...is there anybody else working at tom's level but a little quicker on the attention to customers? thanks a lot/Giu

so, norval, this means that i will have to bolt new trans and drop old shaft in too, take the measures and then swap the new driveshaft back in? the driveline is not perfectly centered in the tunnel but maybe half inch larger will fit alright, the best solution would be to find a much stronger chromoly 2.5'' driveshaft, but i guess this is far from reality anyway...thanks norval

This makes take it apart and putting it together a simple process.
All my universal are finger tight only and I have never blown a universal.
