Just curious if any one has had that setup. Would it be too many angles on the slip joint? Would it bind?

I ran one until a swapped to a np205. Still have it actually. It ran smooth up to 90

Pm on its way.
I've got a slip yoke 205 in mine. 
So if I did this and the drive shaft had a 1 ton set up I just need a 1350 -> s44 joint to bolt it up to my 10 bolt rear axle?
I have a 208 and CV. Used to run with a 12 bolt. I just converted to 14 bolt. Moved 14 bolt back an inch, used same driveshaft with conversion joint.
When I had the 12 bolt, it drove fine. No issues. Haven't driven the current setup. Truck is getting completely redone right now, but I have no reason to think it won't work.

I have a 208 CV setup on 12 bolt. Works great. And I'm currently going to 14 bolt too. So, distance to the axle changes enough with 14-bolt that I'll need a new driveshaft?
No I'm not saying that. I moved the axle back an inch to solve a couple issues.
1. I have a shackle flip which tends pushes your axle towards the front of the truck. The relocation re-centered my axle
2. The 14 bolt pinion snout is longer than the 12 bolt. Relocating it back 1" made the 14 bolt yoke be in about the same location the 12 bolt yoke used to be.
Whether or not you need to shorten your existing shaft depends on a few things, such as how much engagement your slip yoke currently has, etc. What you don't want is to swap in a 14 bolt and have the driveshaft slip yoke bottom out in the transfer case when the suspension is compressed. Bad day.
In my case, I happened to move my axle back 1" which allowed me to re-use my existing driveshaft with a 1310-to-1350 conversion u-joint to bolt to the 14 bolt.
