A measurement that I wrote down for TT length, 34 V8, is 61-7/8-in.
The number I recorded for D/S length is 60-3/16.
I also wrote down some measurements of weld-to-weld, pin hole to weld, front end (snoot) length - for in case you find cut-up parts.
Again, all for 34 V8

For 1933-1934 Fords, regardless of what engine they had, 4 or V8, they were both built on exactly the same chassis & wheelbase. The difference in length is only in the Drive Shafts, to accommodate for the longer 4 cylinder engines.
The length of the Drive shaft in the V-8 = 60 5/32” while the Drive shaft in the 4 cylinder = 58 7/16”
It follows that the Tube on the 4 cylinder was shorter by same amount.
