I shortened mine and took some measurements for the driveshaft and came up with 58". Does that sound close?

Close only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades , Most driveline shops will have a website with measuring directions , Verify with the shop you use that the measurement is correct before having it built . I had a new driveshaft built for my 67 factory shortbed V8 4 speed and it measured 59 1/2" center to center .Cost was about $300.00 with the yoke I provided and them using Spicer u joints
