No, It has a 2 peice drive shaft, I just need the front half the spline is the same for the trans. it is about 2- 2 1/2 in to long. i though it was the same when i started this hole thing.

some one told me that i can put a one peice shaft but i needed to get something to make it fit the rearend. So I do not know.

thanks rob
