Not necessarily, Ronneroo. There are bolt on yokes too. The Buick deals in the garage ARE both slipyoke though.

On What Taco? Every 2wd GM or Ford trans I've ever played with had slip yokes.

MOST 3/4 TON and larger gm 400 turbos have bolt on yokes

Ak that explains it - the only reason I'd mess with a GM truck is if it had 4wd, or if it was free, or I traded for it, or...
OK, I guess I've just never messed with a 3/4t 2wd chebby.

Trucks were bolt on yokes, cars were slip yokes. Usally when I am using a 400 short shaft in a 715 i use a short slip yoke, or even the bolt on style yoke, dont matter, just take the bolt out and let it slip, then I use the approiate C.V. housing to house 2 ujoints. I use no tube at all, and it sets your length very good with a bigblock anyway.

bigwheelbob,
Could you post your PH# or PM it to me so I can talk to you. I have called 4 tranny/driveshaft companies and none of them I am confident in their advice.

Yes, The shaft sticks out from the Th400 housing about 4.5" on my tranny setup for a 205.
I took the yoke off my 2wd th400 that came out of a 1ton truck and the shaft also looks to be 4.5". (Just have to measure over the the tail shaft housing)
I have been informed there are no 1410 bolt on yokes. So I am going with a 1410 slip yoke and getting the tailshaft housing section for the th400 built for the 205.
