You will need a new transmission crossmember or you could modify the '69 crossmember if you have the tools to do so. Also, how are you activating the clutch? '69 linkage, cable or hydraulic? As for the driveshaft, how did you measure for the length? Most shops will tell you exactly how to measure for it, so you don't get one that doesn't fit. Most will tell you to install the transmission yoke, bottom it out then slide it out 1". Then measure from the center of the bearing cap to the face of the rear axle yoke (center of bearing cap). <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wilit</b> <br /><small>Member # 3367</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2020,3,21,11,17,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> duplicate message.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2020-04-21, 11:18 AM: Message edited by: wilit ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>sidhu50</b> <br /><small>Member # 13602</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2020,3,21,11,28,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> oh okay thank you for the quick reply, i will double check if there is any sort of adaptor plate put in as of now or not, and we are using cable clutch, got the kit from online somewhere, with pedal, wire, and the spacer that goes in between the firewall and brake booster <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
