I am planning a transmission swap in my '70 Mustang which requires cutting 1" from my driveshaft. My drive shaft is a steel 51" shaft. So, what I need is a 50" shaft and I would like to have an alum shaft.
My question is: Is a stock driveshaft from an Explorer (or Expedition) a 50" alum (it would most likely be from a 2x4 as the shaft in my 4x4 Expedition is way too short)? If so, is the U joint coupling different?
Thank you in advance for your help!
