I have never seen a large journal 350 either.  I don't think they exist, and if they did as an experimental thing, it probably would have been right at the beginning of production - in September.  I wish I was closer to Orlando.

Bob,

WOW, that is awesome.  With that stenciled on there I would think there should be some stripes too. 

Did you check the length from the center of 1 u joint to the center of the other?

1969 Z28 driveshaft was nothing special.  1969 AMA information says all Camaro driveshafts were 49.56 inches long.  Still working on fine tuning the details.

Thanks Charley.  Those stripes are very interesting. 
Do you know of any original 67 or 68 cars with a big block and a manual transmission that we can check the driveshafts on? I believe they are not they same length as other 67s and 68s.

Kurt and Ed, I think we might be getting close to having enough information to feel comfortable posting those numbers.

Charley, if you have not done it already could you please check the length of your driveshaft from center of one u joint to the center of the other and post it here?  http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=7861.0

Is the rear axle original and it looks like it uses bolts and straps, correct?  I was thinking that was 69 only but I could be wrong.

The 1969 396/TH400 driveshaft I mentioned in that thread had the clips.

I have a 1968 TH400 driveshaft in the garage from a Firebird, and it has clips.

Thanks Richard.  Yes, tough to tell on the colors.  49.56 inches does appear original for your application.

Not sure if this one is an original or not.

I used to have several originals around.  I will check and if I have one I will contact you.  But they might be gone now.

Thanks Rob and Bob.  Yes, it appears that a length of 49.96 inches is correct for 67 and 68 big block cars with TH400.

I can not say for sure, but the u joints you have are probably original.
