Common driveshaft ?

Hi all! Is the driveshaft from a GSL-SE different from all the Non-GSL-SE driveshaft? 13b or 12a? Or is the driveshaft the same across the board? Thanks all.

Driveshaft is the same for all '83-85 manual transmission and '83 automatic.

The '84-85 automatic driveshaft is different.

Prior to that, driveshaft is the same '79-82 manual and automatic.

Im pretty sure (90%) that 79-82 are the same. 83 through 85 are all the same including GSL-SE. Automatics are about 2.5 shorter than standard trans. They are all the same length (expect for auto trans) through all the years, 83-85 have non replaceable u-joints and a bigger pinion (diff) flange. PJ posted right before I did and didnt see it. I wasnt aware of the 83 auto being the same.
