How low before drive shaft mods?

'69 gmc 6cyl , 3 spd manual for now Soon to be 383/m21. How much can I lower it before drive shaft mods are needed?

Welcome to the board

long wheel base, short wheel base, one piece shaft or two, air bags, or static drop?

Mine is a LWB static. I dropped it down 4 inches all the way around and I didn't mod the shaft until I did a LSx/4l60e swap.
