modify 1pc driveshaft - auto to w58

[Clip]

What are the differences between a w58 d/s and a a340e d/s? Are both spline count and length different? How would an a340 lightweight 1pc d/s be adapted to work with a w58/4.30 rear?

Searched on here but all I found was talk about the frequency and vibrations of 1pc shafts.

Front half is different length,rear is same.

the spline's are the same from a340 to r154,but not sure about the w58.the auto shaft is also a couple of inch's shorter then the r154 shaft.i was going to have a coller machined to bolt between the diff and rear yoke.i have a brand new 1pc auto driveshaft sitting around going to waste
sorry,i don't know jack about the w58

pretty sure the splines are the same on the W-58 also,doesn't matter if the DS is too short though.

w58 is a different spline count. 21/23 from memory.

Damn my memory,for some reason when I swapped to the W-58 in the cressy I thought the splines matched,but the front shaft was just too short.Oh well,wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

thats a340e - 21 spline, w58 - 23 spline?
