you think it would be the right length?

I rebuilt my 81 driveshaft with u-joints from Advance auto parts. 20 bucks total. Took 20 minutes to replace both u-joints. Manufacturers like to "say" they are not rebuildable so you buy another 400+ $ shaft. I have a GSL sgaft here that I am going to rebuild as a spare if your intrested in that one. It has replaceable clip style joints in it as well.
If the joints do not have clips holding them in( mine had them) then the caps are held in place internally with nylon that is injected into the caps at assembly. Heat up the caps until they melt the nylon out. Then proceed as normal. I have not met a driveshaft yet that I couldn't replace the u-joints on.
