It was appx 3 1/2". The difference in the transmission lengths 3 Speed manual vs 700r4 was 2 1/4" I added 1/4" to make the first cut off the driveline 2 1/2", got it home and it was still too long, I measured the end of the 700r4 tailshaft (installed in truck) to the center of the carrier bearing mount on the truck (as instructed by the guys at driveline services) and that was 33", they had to cut another " off the driveline as mine was still 34" (front half of driveline)
