I replaced the stock 9 inch rear end on my 1969 Mach 1 with a Currie 9 inch rear axle housing (supposedly a standard replacement) and a Detroit Locker (along with 3.70 gears and 31 spline axles).

Should the length of the driveshaft remain the same or is it possible that either of these mods might change the length?

Should be the same, as long as the pinion yokes are the same length.
