Will the front part of a N/A 13 B drive shaft slide into a TII transmission?
I have a TII trans but no drive shaft. Wanna put it into my 1st gen.
What's the best route for a custom drive shaft as i don't have one?

No. It has a different yoke.
There is no stock drive shaft that will work.
You will have to have a driveshaft made that is the length of a 1st gen shaft with a T2 yoke on it.
You should be able to find a drive shaft shop to do it for you.
I had an axtra strong 3" drive shaft made for my T2 tranny for $250

Cool! Thanks guys. Found a TII drive shaft in Baton Rouge so I can get the yoke I need.
Hey Rex4Life since I am doing the same conversion as you, do you think they will have the specs on file so they can make the same driveshaft for me?
Thanks,
Thomas

Yea you can go either way. Have the T2 yoke put on or get a new driveshaft. If you switch yokes you will need to use a conversion u-joint. Get with a shop and see what options you have. The one I used was pretty good, I had the new shaft in 2-1/2 days. They had it made in about 2 hours. Look in my thread "The Chronicles of a TII Swap" for the specs.

Thomas,
I would suggest that you re-measure the info needed for the driveshaft measurements. Being that it is a 79 and a RHD it may be different. It's not worth screwing it up. Those guys can get you your driveshaft in 3 days so re-measuring for your application is no problem.
I can tell you for sure the 87-88 T2 tranny has 25 teeth on the output shaft--you will need that info.
Good Luck,
Scott
