With that adapter, couldn’t I just bolt that to the tranny, possibly shorten the driveshaft if I have to, then connect the two? Possibly a stupid question.Depends what your purpose is. Ball and trunion parts may be hard to find and they are also not the strongest set up. If you go that route you can convert to the slip yoke setup like a 4x4 front driveshaft.
If you have to have a new driveshaft made anyway going to the slip yoke then might as well make a new driveshaft that uses the drive flange on the ball and trunion. Spicer makes the adapter I believe. Any driveline shop should be able to make this happen.

Then get the U joint and the slip yoke setup. Your drive shaft will look like this
