    80e drive shaft??

    Im doing an 80 swap on my scsb and wanted to know what you guys are doing for driveshafts, Id like to just get mine shortend but do they make a u joint that will work with the 80e yoke? I can shorten it for about 120 bucks just wanted to know if anyone has done this before?

    I bought a long 80e yoke and swapped the 60e yoke out along with a new 1350 spicer ujoint. GMT900 work trucks have a steel driveshaft with the larger joints. If the joint is too long you just cut a little off the end until it is within 1" of bottoming out.
