Longhorn owners!

I need some drive shaft advice for my 69 Longhorn....

What's the measurement of the rear shaft?

I bought the truck with out the motor, trans, and shafts. It had a 350 eng. and I'd have to check, but I believe it had a 400 trans. I know a guy that has a rear shaft from a 72 tow truck and he also has a front shaft that came off a long bed with a 400 trans. Would these two shafts work together?

I need to measure the rear shaft to see if it would work with my Longhorn. I saw a picture of the tow truck and it looked to be a 133" WB.

I'm swapping the bed off this truck to a 69 barn find Longhorn and my plans are to transform this truck into a era correct 1 ton dual wheel stake bed. This same guy has a dana 60 dually rear end/hubs and the 1 ton front hubs and spindles.

Here's another question!

Would the 1 ton hubs work with my original Longhorn spindles? or would I have to use the 1 ton spindles?

It's my understanding that the Longhorns are sold as a 3/4 ton truck, but is actually the same as a 1 ton. Is this true?
