Restoring my '69 Charger from scratch... I have only the rolling chassis on the ground ( 440 engine, 727 trans, ESPO XD suspension, 8 3/4 rear-axle installed -- no doors, hood, trunk, glass, etc.. ) and wanting to measure for a new Strange U1699 3" driveshaft (1350 U-joints)
But from what I am told, I need to have a fully loaded car before I can make this measurement. All weight added... As you can see, the rear end of car is off the ground quite a bit now. ( Note -- the lift is not holding up the car )
Anyway I can cheat and load the car somehow with weight to measure ? I'm wanting to get the driveshaft installed so I can put in my TTI exhaust ... seems you need the driveshaft installed first before putting in the exhaust, to make sure no interference issues.
Any hints / ideas... ?
Thanks,
Jack
