driveshafts between 66 Plymouth and 67 Dodge

[gtx6970]

Can anyone tell me how much a difference is the driveshaft between the 2 cars

I have a vibration in the Plymouth.
And can try / test drive with the shaft from the dodge to insure its my problem before I go have a shaft made for the Plymouth

Dodge shaft is 1" longer appox.. Assuming they have same rear diff.

 

[gtx6970]

Both cars have 8.3/4

I can also swap shaft with my 66 hemi Satellite.
But it has a dana in it which i know requres shorter shaft.

Havent ckd U joint sizes yet. So i might be barking up a tree .

Im just trying to do a test swap to make sure my problem is in fact the shaft before i take it and have ckd for straightness and balance

If you run the Dodge shaft 52" I believe it won't be a problem. Just check that you have some space for in and out movement. I put a 52" in my Satellite seemed OK but wouldn't run it for long. I had 2 66 d shafts and didn't know which one belonged to my Satellite.

Stupid question. Are your tires recently balanced?

Stupid question. Are your tires recently balanced?

Tires are balanced.
But Im 99.9 percent sure this is NOT a tire vibration.
Im switching from chrome magnums to Torque Thrusts to see how well I like the look in person.
And the TQ were on my Coronet with no vibration what so ever

That’s a pretty car.

switched drivesahft between the 67 coronet and 66 Satellite.

vibration gone .


So now to have the correct one for the satellite ckd for balance and I'll put it back in

Thanks all

also, swapped wheels
just for grins to see how I like the look . Jury is still out . I cant make up my mind if I like it ,,,or not
