I believe there should be a part # lightly stamped on the shaft body and you can ID by that?

yea, good luck with that. I have a small pile (probable 10-15 left) of Mopar driveshafts that have been out of vehicles for years, but have been stored inside. The problem is, they were under the cars they were in for years before I ever saw them. You wouldn't be able to see a stamped number on any of them. too much dirt and rust, and cleaning them off would remove the numbers. I've never see a listing based on the length, something like that would have been really helpful through the years. Gene

There is no 61" lenght in white book. Its so long and no performance cars had one that long. My guess a large C Body or Truck
