is a drive shaft from a 68 camaro the same lenght as one for a 69

 

I can't say a confident yes or no to this question. The real question is the drive train the same between both cars. Was one a auto and one a stick, big block or small block? One way to know for sure is to measure both.

 

How hard is it to change a driveshaft? I have an aluminum one from an LS1 I want to put in my LT1. Is it something that can be done in the driveway or should a shop do it? Any special tools needed?

Thanks,
Rusty

 

i have a chance to buy a richmond six speed and drive shaft that was in a sb 68 camaro and i want to put them in my 69 he had a 12 bolt in his car and i plan on switching to a 12 bolt

 

It's easy. Basic tools plus a torque wrench. Don't overtighten the U-bolts. It's 20ft-lbs.

I need to buy or rent a torque wrench. Never used one before, but for something that precise I better get it. Thanks for the heads up!

Yes, all the 1st gen parts will interchange. Even though my current 3rd gen is a ton better car, I still wish I'd kept my 68 droptop.

 

Replacing an LT-1 driveshaft with an LS-1 is just plug 'n play. If you're going to be doing any amount of work on your car, a torque wrench is vital. I've had Craftsman digi-tork (not lifetime warrenty), now I'm using one from Home Depot, which DOES have a lifetime warrenty. Cost about $60.

Have a good one,
Mike

 

back to the question at hand is a ds froma 68 long enough to work in a 69
