Put the yoke in the trans, pull it back an inch or so, measure from it to the rear end yoke and head to the junkyard.

If you can't find the exact length you need, you can get a little longer one and have it shortened a bit.

I did exactly like junkman said. Cost me $10 for the shaft. Don't worry sbout the yoke. Just look for the right U-joints and center to center distance. You can always swap the yoke from your old shaft as long as it isn't a 4 speed.
