My original drive shaft is in the garage if 1970 is the same as 1969? You can use it as a guide, it is a little bent so it is wall art.

are you going from U joint cup Center to U joint cup Center on the driveshaft cups, not the rear or transmission cups of the U joint?

I measured my 1969 Cutlass S 4 Speed driveshaft and it was 56" center to center of the U-joint cups.
