Length all depends on the Yoke you use at the transmission and what rear end you have. Best thing is to measure for your particular needs at ride height. I found this nifty little chart online for over all transmission lengths.

Reference Manual: Chapter 2: Transmissions: Transmission Lengths

rclb running stock single shaft with strange 1650 yoke on 4L80e. Limited time on combo but you don't have to make a custom shaft to do the conversion...

Thanks for the replies fellas, I am just trying to get an idea of the typical length so I know what kind of critical shaft speeds I'd be looking at.

I am also running the original stock 3" steel shaft that came on my truck with a Strange 1350 yolk and bastard joint. I measured it once and IIRC it was 54" center to center on the u-joints. I've been contemplating running an aftermarket shaft for several years now but so far the stock shaft has not given me any reason to change it.
