Finding a 57 inch driveshaft with the correct yoke on both ends will be like finding a 32 ford with chevy motor mounts that were factory installed by ford.... not saying that there is no chance but saying "little chance"
A new driveshaft, measured and built properly, is the best way to go and it isnt that expensive. Anything you find in a "previously owned recycle emporium" is going to be suspect anyway.

Agree with robot. Trying to find a piece that would work is an exercise in futility.
Congratulations on your swap. Love those big torque monster Cads.PLANET EARTH, INSANE ASYLUM FOR THE UNIVERSE.
