TH400 long slip yoke worked just fine in mine and Nonnies trucks. Bein my truck is a rcsb, no cuttin was involved. 2piece ds there is 5/8" to hack off the yoke. I got mine for $1 on ebay

2wd 80e ecsb 135.5" wheelbase. I don't know how you found those lol.

EDIT: oh, nvm, I could find 4wd's but not 2wd's since they're more of a rarity I'm assuming.

for 2wd ecsb get the parts I listed. It's about $80-85 total and you wont end up with a weak bastard joint. Several people here use those including superado, tarinitup
