Driveshaft length

I have a 2000 f350 7.3l diesel with the zf6 2wd. It is a regular cab long bed 137" WB single rear wheel. I was wondering if the drive shaft is a one or two piece and how long it is. I had a four wheel drive trans and tcase but my output shaft stripped and I got a good deal on a 2wd zf6 that I swapped in. Now I can't find a drive shaft. So I think I need to have one made but need to know how long and if it is one or two piece

Thanks in advance

There's several different measurements that come into play when measuring driveshaft lengths. When I built my jeep, I had a custom driveshaft built for the new t-case output and 9" rear end. I used Tom Woods and their measuring guide online and it went fine. Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts - Tom Woods Custom Drive Shafts Custom Driveshafts Specialist

I'm not sure the length but it looks like a 1 piece driveshaft.

137" wheelbase, 7.3L, Manual Transmission (MT) shows Figure I according to Dana Spicer:



Ford also says it's a one piece:
