    I have been looking for a driveshaft for my 56 Olds 98, found a guy with driveshafts but I need to know the length to make sure I am getting the correct one. Does anyone know ? or can measure one. The 98 length would be great but the 88 length as well would help.
    Thanks
    Russell

    I'll see what I can find.
    Nobody want to crawl under their car with a tape measure?
