Need Help!!

I've changed my transmission from a 4 speed to a C-6 Automatic and now need to change drive shafts (length changed approx. 10" shorter). Can anyone tell me if there is a drive shaft out there for this?? The drive shaft I have was originally from a 1958 Ford F-100. Worked fine when I put my 429 with 4 speed but not at all now for reasons listed above. Any help is appreciated.

Read their q&a:

I think you should check the Yellow Pages and have one made. You are not going to find a 1958 shaft that you could trust. Any other shaft will be pure guesswork.

The shaft goes, it does a lot of damage, and if your fuel tank is next to it, God help you.
