who has a swb 2.5 stick 4wd?

[Pete M]

need a rear driveshaft measurement, center of ujoint to center of ujoint.    

 

swb,_2.5,____ax5-ax4,______np231,___   d44= ________   d35= _________

Mine is NP207, Not sure if that will make a difference. Let me know if you want a measurement.

[Pete M]

absolutely!  if it turns out to be any different than the 231, we'll make a new row for it.

Though, now that I think of it, the 207 wasnt ever offered in a shortbed. The only reason I have one in mine is because it was swapped from an 86. In 87 I think they went with the 231 only. Not sure how I got a driveshaft  that fit to begin with. I ordered it from a junkyard online, and it sat for a few years before I could do the swap to 4wd. Ill measure it anyways, its probably one that was originally in a 231.

Would an ax15/np231 work for your needs? I just have an 8.25 (essentially a d44) 

My rear driveshaft was 45" center to center after the soa in the rear

it is entirely possible that some real early 87s got the 207 if there were any left on the shelf.
