1977-1984 W150 Dodge truck question.

[Bad B-rad]

Are the front and rear driveshafts, in W150's the same in big and small block trucks?(BOTH AUTOMATICS)
If one was going to swap a big block into a small block and they have the engine,(oil pan and mounts) and transmission, can the original small block drive shafts be used?
Or are different shafts used, thanks.

appears that they are,
same part #'s between the 400cid BB & the 360cid LA SB
as long as its the same cab configuration has a dana-44 front
Autozone front driveshaft for a 78 W-150 Power Wagon
front driveshaft replacements, shows the same part #'s for both
frt. CRS N97108
frt. USA Standard 44519

rear driveshaft I don't remember
IIRC the tail-shaft on the BB a727 auto is longer
(don't quote me, going off memory)
2-5/8" universals & yokes on the BB

it may have the smaller 2-1/8" universals with the 318-360cid
again don't quote me
