Default Slip yoke for Richmond 5 speed

Just wondering what slip yoke to use for a recently purchased Richmond 5 Speed in a 62, there are all different lengths to choose from. Don't know how much 'telescope' to expect on suspension separation. Thanks

This is what I use on my 65 with a RG 4+1, Non-OD 5spd.

Tom, thanks for replying- I gotta tell you that really surprises me............ I expected a much longer splined area. I guess that uses the 1310 series u joint. I am using the 8.2 Corvette rear end, so not much reason to go with the 1350 only to have to neck it back down to the 1310 on the back end.

The trans is the same length as a Muncie. I used the stock driveshaft with a conversion u-joint. I cannot remember the u-joint sizes but if memory serves the cup sizes are the same but it is wider on side of the body. I think it is a 1330 on the yoke, 1310 on the shaft.
