That's a tough one. Perhaps a long wheelbase van?

Are you looking for exact length, or one you can shorten?
one i can shorten. i was taking stuff off this weird hodge podge 99-01 extendo cab with a 4.3 and 2 pc driveshaft. i measured the shaft and it was like 78 or 82 i dont remember; approx 6" ish longer as expected when you swap a 80e in.

i WISH i wouldve just taken the 2 piece with me.

I'm no expert on it, but generally speaking, a steel shaft in the low 70-ish range is about max you can safely go.
