Drive shaft for SV

[spudman5]

I had an earlier post looking for the shorter drive shaft for an overdrive, but I was advised to get a regular drive shaft and get it modified.

So now I'm looking for a standard SV drive shaft.

Thanks,
Mike

I dont have one for you, but be advised that there are fine and course spline standard transmission driveshaft yokes. IIRC ALL OD driveshaft yokes are course (10 spline).

I will check in the Sunbeam shed - pretty sure I have an overdrive (short) driveshaft. Where do you live?

Paul,

I'm in a far Northwest suburb of Chicago.

If that doesn't work out I have a regular 10 spline Series V prop shaft available

I have a Series V drive shaft (complete) with yolk and good ujoints ready to install. Can ship to you FedEx for $20

Sent you a PM.

BTW, have a really good drive line shop here I have done work with and close to my house. I would be happy to have this shortened for you, you just pay whatever the charge is in addition. No charge for my time!

And their turn around is quick! Comes out ballanced and painted!

Old post does not have a definitive length. Doesn't look like anyone really pinned it down:

But I can measure to one in my car and be sure it's right.

WSM 145 - General Data - Prop Shaft - Alpine (O/D) - center to center 29.5 inches

Would that be equal to the 36 3/4 in long overall dimension I was given in the instructions with my new O/D sent to me? Probably, just checking

WSM 124 - General Data section - pg. 20 - O/A length - Alpine with O/D = 36.59 inches

The center to center length is the same in both WSM's at 29.5 inches.

The 36.5 O/A length measurement should be good unless either the yolk or coupling changed between IV and V production.
