1978 chevy c10 transmission swap and driveshaft

I have a c10 1978 chevy truck that had the transmission changed to a TH350--the driveshaft is too short--any suggestions and will this transmission work or do I have to get a transmission like the one from the factory?
Thanks,
Jerry

Longer drive shaft or long shaft th350. You should join a truck forum to ask the related questions. This site is dedicated to thirdgen f body's.

Have a proper length shaft made, or measure your u joints, should be 1310 series, and head to the local pick a part and see what they have on the sheet that's the right length.
