    Anyone done it? Seen it? Know of a closed drive lower shaft?
    I would****ume it was at least, done once or twice in the 60s when the champs first came out but can’t find any evidence supporting it…
    Thanks!

    All the Sprint car guys use a torque tube with a champ size QC.
    The coupler on the rear end is a commonly a 10-10.

    I believe the earlier stuff used a 10 spline in the engine end too, now days 16 or 32.
    Solid steel, gun drilled,****anium or if your really bucks up gun drilled****anium. Off the shelf up to 38" long and whatever you want for slightly more.

    You don't say what transmission you're trying to connect it to but it can be done.

    Message me if you want to buy stuff.

    Ford changed from 10 spline to 6 in about 1938. Not sure if it’s the same diameter as the lower shaft of the QC needs though.
