Fox body Mustang driveshafts are around 45", IIRC. 65-66 V8 Mustangs are either 50 or 51" depending on auto or stick.
Your rearend yoke can also play a part in the overall driveline length, best to check.
My 1966 C4 and Toploader are the same length.
Where are you guys getting Al shafts shortened for $25? The only place around here that I can find that will do it wants $125.00 balanced and everything. If that includes ujoints fine but if it is just welding, come on.
Anybody know anyone in the Cleveland, OH area?

It cost me $125 to have the aluminum shaft shortened. For the stock shaft they wanted $100 to shorten. So it cost me $25 MORE to have the aluminum shaft shortened vs the stock shaft.
I think you'll have a hard time finding a shop that will do a quality job for less than $100.
I had to swap out the rear flange because the bolt pattern was different than the mustang rear I have under the car. I spent about an hour at the parts store measuring u-joints until I found 2 possibles, lucky for me one of them fit No idea what the original application was though.
I am using a flange, from a late model mustang not the Aerostar, because the rear differential is from a 95 GT. Originally the shop was supposed to only shorten the shaft but they assembled it with new u-joints and everything.

We were mid 60's tuesday, I rode my motorcycle to work, and about 70 yesterday. It was sooooooooooo nice. Then this morning my truck was frozen shut
Where abouts north of Toledo? I went to engineering school at UT. I graduated from there 12/01.
Would a mid-90's Lincoln Mark 8 driveshaft (at 58") work with shortening?
