First you need to measure your dirveshaft. Measure how long it should be with the suspension compressed and extended.
What Transmission do you have? That makes a difference.
You could try to find one at a salvage yard.
Or if you dont' mind buying new go strait to Tom Woods: Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts - Tom Woods Custom Drive Shafts Custom Driveshafts Specialist
A new Tom Woods Drive shaft with HD u-joints would cost $224 (that's what I paid)

I bought my front shaft from Tatton's Driveshafts. These are new ones of course.They were a bit cheaper than Tom Woods. Nice quality.
-IMO They make the shaft to handle travel depending on your operating length. Just measure center of lobe to center of lobe and give the builder that length.
