    Where are you located?? I thought you were in the Los Angeles area. Is it for a stock application, the stock st300 2speed trans.?? If so I might be able to help you, I'm in Escondido, CA.

    the driveshaft is for a 65 skylark with a 350\th350 if that makes a difference. :Dou: :Do No:

    Anybody have 1 or does 1 of the above choices fit?

    i found 1 from a 68-72 on egay... It is 52 inches long from center of u joint to center of u joint. Will it work for me?

    Hi Luke the 65 one I have is 60" center to center,It is out of a 65 Skylark,my original 300 trans meausures 27" long not including the output shaft,maybe someone will know if a 350 trans is the same length.If it is then you need to know if the cross member is the original nothing has been modified.I think your best bet might be to meuasure the length you need for sure when the motor and trans is mounted.When I swapped the 1977 Borg Warner 4 speed I had in my Skylark out for the current 1965 Muncie 4 speed I was able to use the original driveshaft again but with the later Borg I had to use a different length driveshaft then original.I just mention this because when you start using different engines and trannys then original you sometimes have to make things work however you can.If you determine the 60" long one will work for sure I can send it out to you but we do not want you paying to ship something that may not work.Is the engine and trans in the car right now?

    I was told by a good friend that the th350 and the st300 are the same in dimensions, and that the output shaft is the same between the 2. So, I know that I have a stock one that I will not need, like I asked, aren't you in the LA area??
