That's "find a 74/75 auto driveline for a 166" WB T'ette".. ;) 
If I were doing the 4x4 swap, this would be easy - I'd just drive the 
truck in FWD to the driveline shop, since the front shaft I have from 
the donor truck should fit (though the donor was a '44, and I'm going ot 
have a '60 front).. but not enough time at this point in the summer, and 
the pieces n' parts are not ready to go in yet.

I have two 2wd 727s sitting next to a 2wd T19, and the 727s did measure 
out a little longer than the 4spds, and it was close to the 5spd.

I intend to just re-measure from the flange's 1310 U-joint center to the 
carrier bearing center and have it shortened.

My T98 has a yoke on the rear, and my T-35 has a flange similar to what 
you have, except mine originally had the drum parking brake, so my 
flange center is like yours, but with a larger circle that's part of the 
flange, where the drum bolted up.

Eventually, I'll have to modify my T19 4x4 pickup shifter to mount to 
the T-35, and your pictures have been filed away. :D

There IS a part number on it.  I didn't finish wiping the grime off 
enough to rear the part number, just the Muncie tag, but there's a part 
number right next to it.  I'll make a note to get it the next time I'm 
working with it.

I figure you could always have the PTO turn a pulley, with a V-belt to a 
pulley on the generator, and thereby gear it up.
