Drive Shaft Length

I have a 1996 f250 extended cab short bed that I plan to put a ZF5 in.
I have a ZF5 front driveshaft that I believe will fit, as the front drive shaft should be the same length as my donor.
Does anyone have the dimensions for the rear drive shaft on this setup?

Yep, a short run of SCSB F250s, late '96 to mid '97. My previous '97 was a SCSB with a 7.5L/E4OD/4L10. I kinda liked it that it'd fit in a 'normal' parking spot. In reality, just a couple inches longer than a regular cab long bed. After 20 years of being in Cleveland winters,- they don't call it the Rustbelt for nothing -- I sold it at only 124k miles, and picked up a rust-free Southern truck, also a 7.5L/E4OD/4L10, but this one is a SCLB.
