Auto Parts: FORD C6 TRANNY, ford c6, piece driveshaft

Question
I WANT TO USE A 460/C6 COMBO FROM A LINCOLN IN A 1970 FORED TRUCK THAT HAD A 360/C6 COMBO IN IT. THE TAILSHAFTS ARE DIFFERENT LENGTHS AND THEY HAVE DIFFERENT YOKE CONFIGURATIONS. CAN THE TAILSHAFTS BE INTERCHANGED SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO CHANGE THE DRIVESHAFT? THE LINCOLN TRANNY HAS THE SLIPYOKE ON THE TRANNY, THE TRUCK HAS THE SLIPJOINT ON THE TWO-PIECE DRIVESHAFT.

Answer
Hi Sam,

What you suggest I would assume is possible. My interchange program does not work that way though. I can only tell you exact interchanges, NOT through fabrication.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
