Welcome from NW Florida (about an hour east of the ogre)
Before they take it, put some of the worst rusted out parts on that nasty thing that you can, make sure there is a blown engine in there and say "come n get it"
you're rid of trash parts and they get to foot the bill for crushing your trashed parts... of course that is sad if the frame is still good but sometimes sacrifices need to me made
as for length of the drive shaft, wish I could help... someone here will get some numbers for you soon enough

In the past 30 years about 90% of Fords are still on the road, the other 10% made it home.
