Are the tranny and rearend DS flanges horizontally lined up?
Yeah... This is in regards to a 1pc driveshaft.
Lets say hypothetically that you want your pinion angle matching exact, at the magical number 0. (Just to not confuse people, you actually want the rearend a1-2 degreesdown from tranny) Anyways, you see your tranny flange is sitting right at 0 degrees. So you go to the rearend and you see that your rearend pinion flange is sitting right at 0 degrees.
My question is this... Even if you have the exact degrees dead on for the two flanges, are the two flanges even pointing horizontally straight at each other? Or is the tranny flange a little higher? Which means even if you had deadon matching angles, the flanges still wouldnt be lined up since one vertically has a higher altitude of, for example, a centimeter.

This is complete story-telling on my part. I have no clue, thats why I'm asking. I just worryus 1pc peoplegot the pinion angle adjustments down right but no one thought to measure the actual altitude of the flanges to begin with. Since the stock is a bent two piece, maybe Ford did something mysterious that we didnt catch.
Anyone know?
