What years are the driveshafts the same?

I read somewhere that from 82-02 they were they same, but I thought that only the 93-02 were the same, because didn't the third gen use the 700r4 rather than the 4l60e, or do they both use the same driveshaft?

700r4 and 4L60(e) are the same trans dimension wise only difference is one is electronic

the driveshafts are the same from '82-'02 reguardless of manual or auto trans, they are all interchangeable. except the 2 piece V6 cars

some LS1's are aluminum, the 2.73 geared LS1's have steel driveshafts, the rest have aluminum

'93-'97 are all steel the 1Le cars are 3" driveshafts compared to the rest being 2.5"

reguardless, they are ALL interchangeable!
