The 60-68 MPC suggests (not going any further than that) that the GT350 4 Speed and C4 use the same base shaft. It also lumps the FE 4 speed in there. They are talking about just the tube and the fixed ends. The trans yokes are another part as noted in the matrix.
The FE C6 is shown as much different.

After looking carefully at my drive shaft I have to punt as the pits are too deep.
It appears I have to lop off my ends and send in my trans yoke to have a concours shaft made at Deadnutson. They are having supply issues so I'm shafted  ::) for now.

Might be better to describe it as you can use the ones listed in the MPC to replace and will work for those applications and those replacements are the same replacement part when the MPC was published.

Splitting hairs? Yes and one or the other application may match what was originally installed but just trying to be as correct as possible.

I can state that the length between the two fixed yokes on the drive shaft described in the MPC are the same dimensions as the drive shaft that came from my car. Deadnutson also specifies (within a 1/16 of an inch) that same dimension.
