Took a quick measurement, The shafts are 21" long (end to end) collapsible to 15"
Should be 3/4"-26 spline for the box end. Took a couple of pics for you.

If you have the stock G body shaft now then the Astro shaft will fit on the box

Don't be sorry about asking. I have a Chrysler style Borgeson box so I had to get a knucle to fit the box and Astro shaft. The bottom of the Astero shaft is a 1" DD in case you need to modify the Astro shaft to fit.. Looking at your set up perhaps you can cut the shaft behind the rag joint and get a knuckle to fit the shaft and the spline.
