Ran into a snag. I put new brake lines on the diff, then got the driveshaft assembled, and to my dismay there was maybe only 1" of engagement...crap! Lukily I had a few kicking around; I have a donor aluminum d.s. from an 05 1/2 ton crew cab with 5.5' box. I was suprised to find it had basically the same spicer yoke, just a slightly different part #. Original yoke C3-3-529, vs the newer yoke is C3-3-529-6, so its off to the driveshaft shop to get shortened 9.5"
