The way they'd go about it is to either change the yoke on the driveshaft to match the rear axle or possibly use a u-joint that's one size on one part of the cross and another size on the other part to match up. You'll likely be messing with the driveshaft anyway, so welding on a new matching yoke isn't that big a deal.
Messing with the yoke on the rear axle potentially introduces issues with bearing preload or pinion seal.
