700r4 Driveline question

[Billys44s]

Hey guys

So I’m having a bit of a issue I just got done doing a drivetrain swap in my 86 C10 and my issue I’m having is finding a driveline that will work, my orginal drive Shaft was too long by a inch and I bought a 2 new aftermarket ones one for a 90s gmt400 and one for a s10 I can’t find a Ujoint for the gmt400 one it’s a long story but anyways my question I have that s10 drive shaft that’s 60.23 inches long the gmt400 one I was trying to run is 61.50 inches long, could I get away with running the s10 driveshaft with a longer slip yoke I have a 8 inch yoke that I know would fit right in place but I wasn’t sure if it’s physical possible to make drivable long term with that set up

I don't see why it should not work as long as it doesn't bottom out in the transmission and the angles are right.

Is there a driveshaft shop nearby? I paid less than $200 to have a driveshaft shortened, balanced, blasted and painted, yoke polished, and new u-joints.
