So how much to shorten driveshaft? I measured the distance with 70 and driveshaft pushed right up against the transfer case there was 2 5/8”. But I also took out 3 extra leaf springs (someone put them in and it rode like a tank). So now I have the 80 in. Looks like have to shorten driveshaft 1 3/4”. From what I’ve been reading people are only shorting 1 inch. Which is right? Thanks.

Back again on this topic. I was reading online that there is a difference in 1994 dodge frames. Did they change something halfway though the year? Still wanting to do the cab and body swap one truck was made in the fall of 1993 and the other was late summer of 1994, both 1994 trucks. Thanks

Think will try the LuK for price give it a chance. Thanks

The cab swap looks like it will be time consuming but that’s ok. Thanks

So I’m looking to do a motor and body swap. I have a 1994 12 valve manual that’s burning oil and a rusty body. I also have a 12 valve that came outta a 1997 that had a auto transmission behind it but has a week injection pump (I’m told). So I’m putting different body on the 94 and want to put the 97 motor in the 94 frame and body. Can I put the injection pump from the 94 motor on the 97 motor with no isssues and was wanting to add a fuel plate to it give it a little more hp, should I be changing the timeing also? And was gonna go with a LuK clutch that can handle 400 hp and 1000 ft. Any input? Thanks !

That sounds good. Think I might have found a real nice 2500 V-10 4x4 Thanks

So I have a 1996 2500, reg cab, auto, 4x4. The body is rusted out I’m wondering can I buy a 1994-2000 1500 2wd and put it on the 2500 frame. And all I would have to do is cut a hole for the transfer case shifter. I was gonna swap all the wiring and the dash. Just wondering who have done. And what am I not thinking about. Thanks!
