on a 1973 chevy c10 short bed is the turbo 400 a short shaft or long shaft? It is an automatic non 4x4 truck.

Re: transmission id
I believe most trucks got the short shaft . Only long shafts i have seen were from wagons . I am no trans pro though .

Re: transmission id
LWB trucks with a 2 piece drive shaft got the short and 1 piece drive shaft got the long. I don't know on the short box. The short shaft trans has about a 4" tail and the long is 9". Caddys used a 13" tail.
Here is a good link. http://www.maliburacing.com/auto_tranny_id.htm
