I have a PST driveshaft made for a Ford 9"(1350 Yokes) and you are building the rearend for me so hopefully it meshes.

Can the measurement be taken while the driveshaft/tranny and rearend are out of the car...so as to make it an accurate one??

anything's possible but best results are the actual measurement of where it needs to go with engine/trans in place and at ride height

center to center the one i am getting is 41.5, the one i had was 40.5 and the one that wont even mount up is 42.25

this is w/ the midwest 9" stock length lca's in the lowest hole, car is about 1.5" low, and a 4l80 trans

What shaft will you be getting?? I will be running Eric's stock length LCA's, my car will be stock height out back and a T56. I guess if someone who is running the same combo could chime in it would help even more.

I got mine last friday it is not installed yet, but looks absolutely fantastic like a work of art. It is going to be installed in the next few days. Definitly worth the wait for sure and now the wait is a lot less.

Looks good I have it in I just need to route the brake lines and set pinion angle hopefully I'll have it on the ground this week.

Lots more room than the Moser 9 inch I had in there!
