Stop in for a cup of coffee

At least you have a local shop that can and will shorten it for you.

Local to me, almost all the old machine shops, crankshaft shops, and driveshaft shops are closed and dead. The existing ones now only want to work on newer with nothing custom or modified.
True...this place has been around forever...not much going on in there, I feel like the driveshaft business is all they are doing any more...
