    It will work like that but it can be dangerous. Be sure to weld in the hole in the hole of the bolt on yoke so fluid doesn't flow out of it.
    After some quick research during my break at work, I found that these are my options for makin this trans work in my truck:
    1. Have the output shaft changed to one designed for slip yoke (costly)
    2. Have a drivetrain shop make a driveshaft with a slip built in (also costly)
    3. This - http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/p69_...pline_wth.html

    I will probably go with option 3 or see if a local shop can make me
    one. Either way it is more time and $ I wasnt planning to spend. Im outta money...
