Looking at my driveshaft tonight I noticed there seemed to a lot of yoke sticking out of the trans. (Recent rebuild)
Wondering if this looks right to someone experienced with this transmission/drivetrain (80s Dodge)

It looks like it's a bit too far out, however, let me pose a couple of questions:
- Are there any modifications to the truck? (ie: is it lifted)
- Does the driveshaft move at all in the up/down or left right directions?
If the answers to these two questions are "no", I'd suggest you've pretty much don't have much to worry about. The amount which is "clean" (well, cleaner than the rest) is about the travel amount I'd expect in normal usage. This is the area the seal keeps clean by the slight amount of friction and tranny fluid puts on the yoke when in use.
