Drive shaft for 60 belair

[Lynn Davis]

Need a little help, I took out a 283 with a castiron powerglide and have put in a 348 with a 350 turbo with a 6" tail shaft. Does anybody know off the top of your head how much I will have to take out of the front shaft? Looks like 2" to me but I know some on here have allready went thru this.
Thanks in advance

Looks like 2" and some fraction. Measure your PG for dimension A in the chart and compare that to the TH350. That should be the number.

Lengths of FRONT driveshafts

59-64 4-speed & 3-speed w/OD = 24 5/8"

59-64 3-speed & 59-61 Turboglide = 29 3/4"

59-64 Powerglide = 26 13/16"

Measurement is tip to tip length with front shaft completely disassembled.... front U-joint and slip yoke removed, center U-joint flange and center bearing removed.
