Default Driveshaft length???

I was wondering if any of you guys knew the length of your driveshaft with a 12 bolt and a 6spd I am trying to buy one and I don't know the length needed. Any help would be appreciated.

Probably be best to contact the rear-end manufacturer.

when i installed my 12 bolt i had to cut an inch off the stock langth of the shaft
the only reason i had to do this is because i had the "billit" 1350 yoke on the rear. if you get the regular 1350 or 1310 yoke you dont have to cut the ds.

when i searched this was the info i cam up with and when i did my rear it was exactly what i had to do

Thanks. That is the kind of info I was looking for. I have a 1350 so I'll whack off an inch. Thanks.

Jeff,
You're best bet is to talk to your driveline manufacturer and see how they require the measurements.

For example, Denny's uses this procedure: http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html/how_to_measure.htm

In my case I used template B ( http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/html/b.html ) when ordering my Denny's and came up with a length of 44" with MN6, Strange 12-bolt w/1350 yoke, and car lowered about 1.5". This turned out to be the exact same length as the stock driveshaft:
