Driveshaft length

Thanks for the info. By measuring, I thought I needed to lop off 2'. I just wanted to mke sure before I plunk down a couple hundred bucks,

$200?? I hope that's for a new drive shaft. I have had my drive shaft shortened and balanced twice (going to a long tailshaft 4spd tranny, then swapping in an 8.25 rear end). It cost me $75 the first time and that included two new spicer u-joints and it was $55 the second time because I used the same u-joints.
