i have a complete 1991 RC f350 4wd zf5.. still need measurements?
Thanks but nope...

White Rhino...truck with the newly dead engine is exactly that truck you have...

I'm comparing some measurements to an F250 to determine if drivehsafts and what not will change across ok or not.

The E4OD rear shaft currently in the F250 is significantly shorter and the front longer than I need for a ZF swap...from the 350 so just trying to prove out the 350 shafts will or will not work.

thus we know the rear will work, now it's determining if front will work.

That is interesting to me though that F250 and F350 manual zf 4x4 trucks can have the same rear driveshaft length as well as possibly the front. You would think since the 350 is a few inches taller, that it wouldn't be the same.

K Zack, if you can do one more...shoulda just asked this last time...

Front shaft weld to weld? my double cardan is too long thus I'll be having to likely cut the E4OD front shaft down and re-weld it back together! Not a big deal to get done I gotta guy!

K thanks

Got your measurement.

From the highest weld shown in the picture up by the front diff. (Note: not the lower one in the actual groove touching the ear)

You must be registered for see images attach


To this weld to the right of the rubber/spined section.

You must be registered for see images attach


Is exactly 23 1/4 from center of the weld to center of the weld.
