Default 95 5 speed swap

I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 auto single cab long bed. I bought a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 5 speed extended cab short bed. I want to put the 5 speed in the 95 but I'm not sure about driveshafts and stuff like that. So if anybody has done this or knows if it will work please let me know.

Front driveshaft will be fine. Should be able to reuse your rear driveshaft as well. Swap the trans AND the t-case. Make your life a little easier.

I had plans on switching it all I know I'll be fine with the front I was just worried about the rear because the one in the five speed I believe is bent

Lay 'em side by side, and compare the length. They should be damn close.
