Need a driveshaft for a 1953 88

I need a driveshaft for a 1953 88. The parts catalog shows there were 3 different driveshafts for a 1953 88 so Some measuring would need to be done. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike

If I remember correctly; Freman Auto Salvage in Montana has some. I used to have a '53 88 and loved it. I got most of my parts from J&M Vintage Auto in Goodman, MO before his wife had all of the cars crushed. 'twas a sad, sad day...... With shipping though, you might be cheaper off to have a weld shop make one up for you. That's what I ended up doing with mine.

I have a couple of NOS driveshafts for older Oldsmobiles.
Don't know for what, but, if you're interested, you can give me a center-to center dimension for a start.
If the dimension is right, I can send you pics to see if it's what you need.

I have a 1953 Olds 88 4-door with complete stock drivetrain. I can compare length if you measure yours and give me the measuring points. John
