Iam building a 37 ford slant back with a 351 w and a C4 trans .the driveshaft was out of a 68 mustang and is 2 in too short does anyone know a donor ford with a shaft 2 in longer

Unless you get lucky, you are going to have to modify an existing driveshaft. Why not just get your Mustang one lengthened.

Any tranny or driveline shop should be able to do this.

Thanks for that, just thought I"d try

Check what kind of money that is going to cost you, as you may be better off going with new ends and have them make up the shaft. Or advertise in cruisin times. www.cruisintimes.org/
