slip yoke dilema

I am trying to figure out how to adapt a rear driveshaft to a dana 60 to a NP241. (damn near the same as a 231) To say the shaft will be at an angle and short is an understatement. Doing it the expensive way is easy. Anyone know of a strong way to shorten the tailshaft and to get a double cardon shaft to bolt to the yoke from the case? I am using 1410 joints and am thinking that I may be able to machine the cases outer slip yoke, weld on a round disc, machine that true and put on a bolt pattern to match the driveshafts flange. and turn it into a flange to bolt up the driveshaft. To shorten the case I am thinking will require buying the tailshaft. Thinking of the hack and tap deal I have seen before. Any ideas? :confused:
