I need 3 drive shaft measurements, please?

All are for SWB with small block.
1) Long tail TH350
2) Short tail TH350
3) TH400

Also, what are the measurements for the actual transmissions? I know I have a TH350, however, I don't know if it is a long or short tail.

My big block and turbo 400 drive shaft measures 68" center joint to center joint. The short shaft 350 tail shafy should be around 6" I think. I can get some exacts on that tomarrow.

a small block with a short shaft TH350 in a SWB truck would be 4 foot 10 inches.

I measured my two piece on my 69 - I have a 350 eng with TH-350 tranny that has a 6 inch tail. The front shaft was 25 inches from center to center and the rear is 35 center to center.
