Forward Drive Shaft Length

So I have a predicament. I have a 1997 Ford F150 with the 5.4 Triton in it. I need a new front drive shaft for it and I don't know the length. We had to cut it off because it wouldn't budge even after popping the bolts out and such. Someone please help if they can!

You have two halves ? Should not be too hard to get a total length.... or measure from the axle joint to the transfer case joint.... You need to have a shaft that will slip a couple inches LONGER and a couple inches SHORTER than the measurement..


Or go on e-bay and just buy one used.
