What not to do when......
Changing your rear end.
Don't just toss the driveshaft in and call it good without confirming it's actually long enough. Fortunately it only cost me an extra $40 but it could have been worse.

I got a new/used yoke from the shop for $20 and had the seal and bushing in the tailshaft replaced for $20.

The new shaft minus the yoke was $300.

Yeah it could have been much worse than it was.
On a side note I now have a 68-72 A-body driveshaft the correct length for a TH400 with an 8.5 axle available with new U-joints that just needs a new yoke.
