bob w Still crazy after all these years! Joined Jan 2, 2008 Messages 13,196 Location Stillwater, MN Mar 13, 2019 #5 The last two have been shorties. They are 3". Gonna order one for the roadster today and I'm sure they will make a 3" again. Mine is 23" long also. I get 'em from Driveline Specialist of Texas. About the same price as local but I trust them to not screw up or take advantage of me.

That's what I'm using on my current build with a BB Nailhead. Had the same set up in my truck & never a problem... other than keeping tires on it! [ddd BoB
