I'm definitely an advocate of going new unless you never plan to put your foot in it. Rust on the outside can at least be seen and evaluated - rust on the inside is a silent killer. At least the Firebird has a shorter driveshaft which takes some stress out of it. Pictured is the driveshaft and trans out of my '67 GTO Cruiser. We had a chromoly driveshaft made up for the '68 bird that my son raced.
