If you go to Denny's website (www.dennysdriveshaft.com) there are the diagrams on what measurements are needed.
Also, What makes you believe you need a new driveshaft?
Driveshaft is next to the torque-arm under the car... it connects the transmission to the rear-axle. And your comment asking where it's located concerns me on your skill level on swapping it out.

Your stock DS is MORE than enough for that 383; there are plenty of people running the stocker with a lot crazier motors than yours.
Only reason you should waste your $$ is: A) you upgraded your rear axle to a 12-bolt/S60/9"; and B) you're going to be running some very sticky tires, and C) You're going to be pushing some serious HP (N2O, Supercharger, Turbo, or INSANE NA).
You can save yourself from $200-$400 by just balancing the stocker.
