Default Need length on rear driveshaft for 1991 ram w250

Hello,
I am new here and I have a question, I have a 1991 Ram W250 Pickup that is missing a driveshaft. I got a new one but it is too long. Is there any way to get the measurements online or does anyone know how long the rear driveshaft is. The truck is a 91 Ram w250, 4x4. standard cab, 8 foot bed, 318 v8.

Thanks if you can help.

What tranny?

I'll get you the measurement for an 86 w250 with an auto, but I won't get it until late tonight.

I just got the truck, all I know is that it is automatic. It is a Power Ram 250 if that means anything to you.

3-speed auto it's an a727, 4 speed I don't remember what they were or when they switched to the rh/re series. Power ram 250 tells me it's a 3/4 ton 4x4 dodge, that's about it. 2wd's are just Rams, not Power Rams, and 4wd's are W150/250/350, 2wd are D150/250/350. Just a little trivia.

I didn't measure, it was a lot later than I expected when I got home. I've got a 4" lift so my yoke-to-yoke distance is going to be a little longer, but I didn't have the rear shaft lengthened I don't believe. Front one yes, rear is stock. I'll just give you the tube length and approximate diameter from where the ends are welded on. Look for a reply tomorrow around 4-5pm or so from me.

Nick

Sorry buddy, I took a nap immediately after work and just got up a bit ago to go out (in the dark and rain) and measured it for you. It's 50 inches in length for the tube itself, not including the yoke or splined end. Diameter is about 4"
