what trannys do most people with 1st gens run? ive read all about the R series but can 1st gens run those? i currently have a L series 5 speed. should i just rebuild it or go with a different series? im also having problems with my front drive shaft angle so was gonna run a longer tranny to help with this problem. would it be worth it to get a longer tranny or just go double transfer case instead? i guess im wondering what the best setup for the drive train would be and where i can get a decent driveshaft that wont snap! geez! im on #3

I run a W56 with 2 t cases. = no more driveline problems for my full bodied 1st gen truck.

Best setup depends on what you want to do.

In my 80 I have an L 50 and dual cases, with a 3" spring, I have no driveshaft issues.
