The math works such that the yoke is past the inside of the bushing about 1/4"; probably enough to work. I think the driveshaft I have is about 3/4" too short (perhaps was on a station wagon according to ford parts manual) and I do not like the leverage it has on the tail-shaft bushing. The other part of the problem is the yoke barrel (2 yokes from 2 reliable suppliers, one at 1.488" and the other at 1.491" measured with a micrometer) are a much smaller diameter than the Ford spec of 1.498". Even the original measured 1.496" with the rust sanded off. So I should find a Ford yoke within spec or use the Chebby powerglide yoke (shorter barrel than the Ford yoke) and find a longer driveshaft. In any event I thank you guys for your thoughts on this!
