Hoping someone can help me out with this one, we have a possible production (filming) date for a tkx swap into my trans am but it’s something that would have to be a start to finish in a quick time span. I am having trouble finding a drive shaft length so I can have ours shortened before hand to meet the schedule if it goes through.

If anyone has done the swap in a 2nd gen f body with the stock rear I’d appreciate if you could share the drive shaft length. I know based on the specs of over all length the tkx is 1.16 inches longer than the t10 but I could have sworn I read something someone only cut there’s down 3/4 of an inch.

i can see if i have my measurements on file somewhere, but i do have a ford 9" rear with a long 1330 yoke.
49.5" for some reason rings a bell, but if you need to know, i'll see if i can find it.
i dont recall what mine was when i had the 10 bolt, as the last driveshaft was damaged
i've been using aluminum driveshafts since the 90s

Edit:
my last note i had mentioned 49.25 from trans tail to yoke on the rear
i do recall giving a measurement like that and the driveshaft shop made it perfect, with plenty of room to spare, and i want to say at the time my cost was under $300, i remember some thought that was sticker shock at the time, as in very expensive... now-a-days.... i'll take that anyday
