Drive Shaft Indexing?

Hey All,
I've not been here for a long time, as my 69 F250 has been perfect, except........ A slight drive shaft vibration. After doind a bunch of studying for issues with my 68 Mustang, I've learned that indexing a 2- piece drive shaft is critical! What is the proper indexing of front to rear shaft?
TIA,
Gene
