I know my CCSB driveshaft is 82.5" from center to center on the joints, if you have a regular short bed extra cab, 86 5/8ths is probably close.

There aren't many options with a shaft that long. I am finally fixing to bite the bullet and have a carbon fiber one built. It's expensive, but keeps it a 1 piece shaft and supposedly good for 1500 HP and 150 mph even at that length. Most of the extended cabs had 2 piece shafts in them and lots of places build the shafts like that.

I talked to The Driveshaft Shop, Inland Empire Driveline, Performance Shaft Technologies and Advanced Composite Products and Technology. I'll probably have ACPT build it, some of the others wanted me to switch to bigger ujoints before they would build it. Told me it would take like a 3 3/4" carbon fiber shaft to make it live and anywhere from $12-1500.
