I believe the 68-73 were 2-1/2" diameter. The 74-82 were 3" diameter. |

I have never heard of this scenario, but what I think Chuck was saying is that someone has replaced a drive shaft with the wrong one. |

Yes that's right sounds like someone has installed the wrong half shaft on your car. Strange as it seems the new ZR1 has half shafts of two different diameters  |

Some of the big blocks and Hi-Po 350s had the larger half shafts........., sounds like someone repaired one and replaced it with the HD larger one. Don't think it would hurt anything, just a little strange. The use the same bearings and are the same length. My 70 has smaller ones and I have a set of larger ones from a 74 L-82 I will use to replace them when I need U-joints. Gary |
