the guvment was gonna give blackwidow $4000 cash for clunkers until they saw he had a SBC under the hood....Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....ijushadtaaaaa
chord.......you could always take/chop some out of the chassis & driveshaft to make the short bed fit....but that would be a lotta work......depends on how much you wanna short wheelbase truk......
i think i'm going to go ahead and get the long bed and if i can't stand it, i'll shorten it. Are you going to have to get a driveline made for your truck blackwidow, or will something else fit?
chord.....Ima drive my '36 to blackwidow's house......
take a hacksaw & cut the yoke off his oem driveshaft.....
hook up the dial-indicators & weld him a sbc yoke on it.....
then we goin to the t-rackkkkkkk.......
EDIT: good choice on testin out the long-bed with the engine swap done first
go ahead and grab his motor, then drop it off at my house too
the original driveshaft will work with a bastard u-joint and the correct yoke for the trans
You sure about the length? After messing around with different ideas, I ended up just having a brand new drive shaft made. Wasn't too expensive. I didn't ask, and they didn't mention otherwise, but they did reuse a couple things off my old shaft, which I imagine the rest of the old rusty POS got scrapped.
