I had a safety loop on the hemi when the driveshaft came out, the biggest piece was about 10-12" long, it cut the right rear slick (14 or 16x 32, don't remember) , tore the trans mission all to hell, beat the hell out of everything under the belvedere, both u joints, floor boards, and just dam near caused the car to roll. Glad there was no gas line in there !
