columbia 2 speed in model A

[kajnhedge]

I'm trying to find out the measurement is for the drive shaft of a Columbia 2 speed rear end into a Model A. I think I have to cut it down about 20 inches to make it fit, Does anyone know the exact measurement?

Don't know the measurement but measure a stock A from the front edge of the bell to the center-line of the axle shafts, and duplicate that on the Colombia.

OK thanks, that should work

I've had a Colombia under my wide bed since the late 1950's, and love it. I converted mine to manual shift.

Doesn't that make sleeping uncomfortable and doesn't the cartel object?

(Sorry, couldn't resist! )

I have a conversion to do down the road with v8 housings already converted. If you have done this before and have experience with it please respond.
