I don't mean to brag but I just picked up my 5th wrong drive shaft today, lol

this one actually had a '69 tag on it, and my chassis is technically a '69 (the truck is registered as a '71 but let's not split hairs, ha ha) I realize this one comes from a 3/4 ton truck aka a C20 however that just means the shaft would be beefier if you will that should not constitute a different length per say, if you follow my logic two trucks parked side by side, for example a long bed C10 and a long bed C20 would be the same length, no? assuming both had GM 12 bolt butts

this is soooo Goldilocks: this one's too short, this one's too long...
