Post subject:  Which driveshaft?

So I'm in the middle of some upgrades on my '64 Dart, and need some help. So far I've replaced the stock 7.25" rear with a fresh rebuilt Abody 8.25". Next, I'm about to pull the stock 3spd manual gearbox for an A/F body A833 overdrive unit.

My question is, what stock driveshaft do I need to fit with out any modifications? My old driveshaft is to long, and is a ball and trunion setup.

Thanks!

Look for a drive shaft out of a 67 & up Dart that had an 8 3/4 rear end. (111 inch wheel base)
Better yet, get everything installed, take a few measurements and then build a drive shaft to fit.

Getting your driveshaft cut down to fit is pretty cheap. I had a local shop in Houston do mine for $65 when i switched to an 8.25 axle. That didn't include a real balance job, though.
