Does anyone make a drive shaft that can run at sharp/steep angles?

Go from a Pede tranny to TLT axles at about a 60* angle

looks like it would run that angle. might need to clearance the joints a little but i doubt it. it turned pretty freely at a very steep angle, like more than 60*

How long will the shaft end up being from yoke to yoke?

I've seen guys bootyfab mini CV shafts like the 1:1 shafts. A little time on a lathe,a guy could build a pretty slick CV shaft.

rrrrrrruuuuuuua! that would definitely help a short shaft with mix matched yolk angles.

I'm using MIP drivelines in the wifes pede trannied TLT axled crawler and it works great, not 60 degree but pretty steep..maybe 50. Try laying down the pede tranny, will kick out the drivelines to one side and making the CG lower as well....
