Need rear driveshaft measurement 78 F150

Anybody know the correct length for the driveshaft on a 78 F150 351M C6 9" rear with a 203 transfer case? the only thing i can find new is for the 205 transfer case.

My suggestion if you are buying a new one is to go to a site like Dennys Driveshaft How To Measure Correctly for driveshafts that fit right and find the proper form and make measurements. If you are getting a used one, just get one from a regular cab long bed 4wd.

Just remember that with a short bed there is a double cardan joint in the driveline to compensate for the extra angle. I have a NP205, otherwise I would be able to get you measurements off mine.

Well the driveshaft I have does not have a double cardan on the rear shaft. There is one on the front shaft but not the rear. The PO must have given me the wrong one. Anybody know where to find another one? Junk yards are not an option around where I live, and all I find online is for a 205
