1978 C10 Shortbed with short 350. What Driveshaft?

Like the title says.
I need on that length or longer, but I dont know what I should grab from the junk yard.
If I didnt already have a rebuilt 350 car trans, Id just get a new trans, but its what I have. Gonna be a weekend cruiser anyways.

My 74 SWB had a TH350 short tail (6in) and a 12 bolt rear end. The drive shaft is 59 1/2in from center u-joint to center u-joint. Im not saying thats the size you need but that is what was in my truck.

My cousin said 60" so that sound right. But what would I use for a donor? 2wd suburb?
