Driveshaft length?

Since i could not find a 5 speed donor truck i dont have the driveshaft i need. So i figured i'lll get one made. For a 1992 Standard Cab 8 ft bed truck does anyone know the correct driveshaft length. The shop near me needs to know center of u-joint to center of u-joint. Or center of u-joint to end on the splines for the slip yoke. Thanks

PS. its for the getrag trans 4x4

That's the best way to measure. You really need to get the getrag and 205 in the truck then measure.
