I’m curious what options I have. I recently replaced a 71’ shot 2 piece drive shaft with a one piece from my 68. After shortening the frame. While I initially thought they were perfectly 12” apart it appears it’s about 1” shorter than necessary. Do I HAVE to have it retubed or could I add a double cardan joint to the rear? Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks
