TH350 driveshaft options

I have an 85 half ton with a Th350. The old stock trans has the long tail shaft. The one that is going in has a lot of upgrades but it has the short tail shaft. Being that it is a long bed, stock is the long tail shaft. I don't want to take both transmissions apart to build an upgraded th350 with a long shaft. I need 72" driveshaft. Currently mine is 69". A local shop said the only way I can keep a one piece driveshaft that long is to go aluminum. That's fine but it's costly. Am I able to get away with putting a yoke on my stock driveshaft that is a few inches longer or do I need to go with getting a new shaft made? Thanks
