Shafted Avanti!

[mfg]

A driveshaft made for a 1964 Avanti with automatic transmission will interchange with a driveshaft made for a 1967 Avanti with automatic transmission.......True?

I would guess yes since they both have the same transmission.  But then again I am not sure what if anything  was changed when they went to flanged axles.

Good thoughts!....Anyone else ever ran into this/have opinions?

 Maybe they were a different length due to the different motors used.

No other thoughts/opinions on this one?

Were the diameters different, such that the larger diameter shaft would rub on the x-member? Why different diameters? Maybe because of engine/trans elevation in frame changed between Avanti and Avanti II?  Really reaching here.

Sorry no,...The two driveshafts would have the same diameters.
