F150 tranny with overdrive

I bought the complete kit with all the machine work already done. All I had to do was just bolt it in.

Did you have to shorten the torque tube and drive shaft?
Rather than have shorten the torque tube and drive shaft, would the open drive shaft kit be an option? Just asking. Speedway motors has them, Part #9191111.

Shortened drive shaft, torque tube, & radius rods all came in the kit. Open drive line was never a consideration.

Seeing as how you have had your kit for awhile, what do you think it was cost for the same kit today, and who from?
Thanks,
John

I flip flop on doing open drive versus closed drive, Speedway sells rear end adapter for open driveline. Then wouldn't have to do any machining to output shaft but would have to do more mods on radius rods. Prefer to do TT but need more info on modifying the output shaft etc.

The length of my OD Transmission with the AA bell housing to the retainer was 18.3125". I figured out how much to shorten the TT by subtracting the shorter original bell and trans combo from the longer OD set up.
