Thanks guys, saved me a lot of money from having a custom shaft made. I will have about $200.00 into this one when all said and done.

Yes my brother cut the yoke off dead center of the weld being careful to only cut the shaft and not through the yoke. Once the piece was cut off he was left with about a 1" lip on the yoke that we squared up and pressed back into the shortened shaft. Once everything was square he threw some tack welds on. Then we tried it in the truck to make sure it was the correct length and the carrier bearing bolted in. Once we confirmed it was correct he fully welded it. Hope that helps.
