If an old shaft is not available, where should you measure from to get the
correct length for the new shaft? Wheels on the ground, rear face of trans
output flange to centre of where the rear UJ sits in the pinion yoke? How
accurate does this measurement need to be with the typical movement front to
rear in the UJ's? I imagine if it's wrong it's going to hammer the rear
output bearing in the trans?

Wouldn't the safe path approach be to let the builder take measurements off
the original shaft? I have seen wrong field measurements ruin a job when,
for instance, the wheels were not on the ground properly and the driveshaft
not in a normal operating  plane. If new shaft is made from new parts and to
match old shaft for fit by driveline shop, the responsibility for fit should
fall directly on the driveline shop.
