1Another thread quotes 69 Camaro driveshaft length as being 49.56.Is this measurement for a Muncie,Turbo 350 & Powerglide...........OR Turbo-400 which I'm told is longer (???) My problem driveshaft is with Big Block/Turbo 400/12 Bolt

2) Drew, above talks about cutting down a shaft by 3/4" because he changed from 10 Bolt to what ????????????????

3)On my 69 Camaro COPO "clone" I removed a 10 Bolt and installed a 12 Bolt. We dont know the origin of the driveshaft, but it now appears to be 1" or more short........
My car is running Big Block and Turbo 400. Can ANYBODY respond as to how long an original 69 Big Block Turbo 400 driveshaft should be.

4) This currently installed 12 Bolt has a yoke that uses U-Bolts, which I'm told is WRONG! I've also been told that the correct yoke using bolts and straps would be the same length???? Any comments on this???

5) Short of me buying NEW driveshaft does anybody have CORRECT Turbo 400 Big Block 69 Camaro shaft for sale????

Need ASAP for Hot Rod Power Tour................

May I further add, that this current unknown origin driveshaft is installed and operating vechicle. It is just that my "mechanic" reports seeing previous seal wear mark indicating this 1"+ shortage at transmission slip yoke................
