Need Driveshaft Length Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I’m looking to pick up a 1993 regular cab short bed frame. He has several driveshafts sitting there but doesn’t know which one is which.

Can someone please tell me dimensions I should measure and where I should measure from?

Measure from the Bearing cap to Bearing cap of the spider on each end. I just checked on my '90 regular cab short bed. It measures 41", the transfer case is 10". I could guess 51" for a 2 wheel drive truck, that's with the manual transmission and 5.7 v8. The Yoke slip section is 5" so there's some wiggle room there.

I Super appreciate the extra mile you put forth getting those measurements
