Question 67/68 and 69 Big Block Camaro Drive Shaft Length

67 & 68 396 camaro frame mounts move the motor about 1 " forward on the sub frame "K" member as compared to a 69 396 car. I do recall that the drive shaft length of a 67/68 396, 4 spd car is longer than a 69 396, 4 spd car.

Does anyone know the drive shaft lengths?

Thanks !

Additional question on the length. I found the length of 49.56 inches for my application. my question is is that center to center of the u-joint or overall length of the shaft?
Thanks as always.

Chris -- I have always measured driveshaft length as center to center of the u-joints ... hope that helps ... Craig

Defined in the top of the article:
Note: All lengths are measured from centerline to centerline of the universal joints.
