This is probably for our FE vendors or someone with knowledge of Gear Vendors Company. On their home page there is a tab for applications and after selecting 4,5,6 speed manual transmissions their list comes up. There is a listing for Toploader 17" tail shaft. The part number is 189723 with the price as $3195.00. But it says to contact them before purchase. I emailed them and told them the application. They emailed me back and said that they don't make one for this transmission and have no plans to do so in the future. Well maybe I got a kid who sold underwear before the layoffs. Then I called them and got the same response and was told that I would have to switch out the main shaft to a 14" before they can help me. Not happening Batman! Why would a company publish application information, assign it a part number and not produce the part? If anybody has an (in) with Gear Vendors I would like an answer to that question. There were many more Toploaders produced with the long 17" tail shaft.
