Hey guys! I am in the midst of converting my fj45 pickup from a 3 speed to a 4 speed [after many YEARS of talking about it!] Anyways, after getting the tranny in yesterday and scrounging around the shop for drive shafts to fit, I came up with ONE that fit my specs.

47.25 end to end with about an inch and a quarter showing in the slipyoke before full compression. I think that this driveshaft is a STOCK FJ55 driveshaft from a 69-73 vintage pig with stock 6 and 3 speed. Before I go posting up in the classifieds for one, I was wondering if one of you could double check the length on a basically stock pig to see if my measurements 'stack up'

TIA:)

measured one I have in the shop, from a 72 or 73, measured 47" full compressed. I'd crawl under one of my other rigs but it's cold and dark out. :D
 
Thanks Paul. Anyone else?
