I assume from the rough context that he is planning to use the C4 halfshaft as a basis to build a C3 halfshaft.

​​​​​​​They fit fine. I've been running shortened C4 shafts on my '69 for about ten years.

Welded, time to clean up. Decided to go with a pair of alum. drive yokes on the axle side and the steel on the rear end side. Waiting for the alum. ones to ship.

Are they stronger than the 3 inch half shafts on the C3's?
