Your best bet is to measure from the tailshaft to the rear yoke. There are many variables to take one dimension and go with it. My 65 kcode hasthe factory 9 inch with small u-joint yoke, I had a 49 7/8 center to center aluminum shaft with a T5 slip yoke, it had minimal play on the front yoke. I destroyed a rear ujoint and the shaft and had a steel shaft of 49 3/8 made.
