Cab to low driveshaft hits??

I bagged my 82 and when I dump the air out the the drive shaft hits the rear of the cab,it hits right at the very end of travel, is this normal. Do I have to put a channel in the rear of the cab for that, like I did for the gastank crossmember?

if it hits, i'd notch the cab.

by the sounds of it, you might be able to just take a heavy hammer and force the notch

Your going to have to clearance it some way. I cut 4" out of the back of my cab for clearance. One of my friends had his drive shaft hitting like that and never did anything about, it broke a few months later.

I might be able to just hammer it in, If not I guess its time to break out the saw Its good to know that I'm not the only one that has run across this.

you may be able to change the pinion angle to correct it depending on the type of setup you have
