There are a lot of custom driveshaft shops out there if you give one a call or find one on line they should be able to tell you how to measure between your trans and rear end and how long the tube and yoke assembly would be with a given slip yoke. Hope this helps. | | |

So as your univ joynt's collar is about 1'' away from the tranny. this leaves about 1'' movement when the truck bounces in it's normal operation and the slip joynt can travel.
