Its time to get something done on my Green Machine!

My 69' C20 came as a 350 with TH400 and Dana 60/4.11. Last winter I bolted in a great running 454 out of a donor truck, then installed a Gear Vendor and TH400 adapter I pilfered from a Motor Home. I left the stock trans crossmember in place and will use a new stock type mount. Then I took a break till now.

I think its time to trailer it to the Driveshaft/Muffler Shop to make some new head pipes for the exhaust and shorten the stock 2 piece driveshaft. To me it looks like they might just shorten the front half but is that the way to go? Or do I have them make a 1 piece shaft? Have any of y'all added a GV overdrive on a TH400 longbed and if so, what the best way to go?
