You are not going to be able to bolt a t case to that c6, you are going to need to convert it to 4x4 or big a different one. Most full-size t-cases will bolt up, but not all will fit between the frame rails. Popular ones are, np205, np208 and some use a bw4406. I tried to use a bw4406 in my 85 b2 but it was just too big. Last, what do you mean by drive line? I am using a 80's 302, a M5OD-R2 out of a 01 4.2L f150 and an np205 with stock axles. I haven't figured out driveshafts yet. Hope that helps.

That's what sayin, what the heck do you use for drive shafts? Do you just have to drop some coin and Get custom ones? And well crap... Can I modify the c6 to accept a np205? I would like to keep it if possible
