Eight and three-quarter rear end driveshaft issue

On a side note... How long did you make your drive shaft. center of joint to center of joint?

It was already made to fit the 8 3/4 rear end. I measured 57 1/4 from rear center to the front edge of the pleats that bolts to the transmission. It still has the old-style hook up in the front.
