    Driveshaft Lengths? post lengths of all driveshaft from all combos.sc,ec,cc,ssb,sb,lb

    I'm trying to find out if I can use a stock replacement shaft for my truck (2007 nnbs cc 1500 5'8 bed with 5.3) that will work with an 80e. I think I have the same wheelbase as a ecsb. So I'm thinking I might be able to use a driveshaft from a ecsb that originally had an 80e. Does anybody know? Also if this driveshaft doesn't work do you guys know what will?

    post all combos if you can shortbed longbed single cab extended cab 5.3 6.0 8.1 6.6 you get the picture.

    THanks ahead for your posts!

    I did mine by just swapping the joints. My worktruck has a steel driveshaft and 1350 joints so it was a straight swap over to the 80e slip yoke with no driveshaft mods needed. If you have 1310s on your driveshaft you can get a 1330 yoke so that you can use the 1310/1330 joint. If the shaft is steel with 1310s have a new yoke put on it with 1350s.

    Ok so according to this website my hd 4l80e is 25/32 longer than my 4l65e. I was under the impression the 80e was alot longer because of the trans mount relocation. My truck has 2" drop shackles. but I will prob lower it another 3" someday so the yoke will be jammed in more due to a more level pinion angle. I am now wondering how long of a yoke I should get I think I'm just gonna go with the long yoke idea and trim accordingly
    I'm not sure whick u joint size I have I just read somewhere that ccss 1500's had 1310's If it helps I have the 5" aluminum ds.
    Google "1310 1350 conversion u-joint" and take your pick.............thanks! Well that was easy haha I was typing 1310-1350 hybrid and google had returned no results.
    Here is a link to camaroz28.com for some u-joint info and p/n's:
