Question Quick Driveshaft compatibility question

I have a GSL-SE rear end and a 79' trans.

What driveshaft do I need to make them work together?

put a Pre 1983 flange on the GSL-SE axle and you should be good.

If you get a 1984 or 85 driveshaft, it is a bolt on and a lot easier than trying to get the pinion flange off.

The inputs will match up it's just the rear flange you have to worry about. 84-85 driveshafts are what you want to use.
