Default Help identifying these two driveshafts
Hi all, I was going through my collection of spare fbody parts and came across these two driveshafts. The one on the bottom is thicker than the top one. The top one has a Three Rivers sticker on it. Anyone know what model fbodies these driveshafts were found in?

I don't see any pics, but if they look like these, the aluminum one is a 1LE and the other is the stock steel shaft.

Thanks shbox. I just reuploaded the picture.

It looks like the top one is the 1LE drievshaft. What about the bottom one?

I had a 1LE and the bottom pic looks a lot like it. The top however looks like a LS1?

Yeah, that is probably right. I meant to say LS1 when I said 1LE earlier. Sorry, OP.

I thought the 1LE was supposed to be smaller in diameter but had thicker walls? The top looks smaller than the bottom.

Nah, I think the 1LE was larger in diameter and like what SSRRR said. My LS1 shaft looks like the top (smaller) one.

Is it possible to swap a LS1 center console in our cars?
