Default GT DS length request

Hey guys due to my 3650 swap coming up here in a few weeks, I am getting my shaftmaster shortened. Flange to flange can someone measure for me? Or if someone has their stock driveshaft could you measure it from U-joint to U-joint with them flat obviously... Would be greatly appreciated. A GT driveshaft that is! Auto and 5-speed are the same length I believe.

Awesome! Obviously U-Joint to U-joint with them straight should do the trick! I would imagine in inches? Thanks!

Yes you know the part on each end that you can move and it attaches to the drive shaft and transmission flange?I'm pretty sure that is what it is called lol. But that would be great, thanks alot man.
