Best bet, most likely the cheapest, would be to have a tranny shop swap the tail housings for you, making sure to not include any fragments from your old tranny. I have found that getting driveshafts from the junkyard is hazardous at best, most I have seen move their stuff around with forklifts damaging driveshafts in the process. Your tranny most likley came out of a car, I say this because your shifter linkage is reversed for a floor shift... hence you probably won't find a driveshaft that would be the correct length.
The tranny shop could also ensure you are not putting a crappy tranny in your rig.
But from a car with 4x4? I was wondering about a Bronco? Which still means I am out of luck on a rear driveshaft since my truck is longer than any Bronco I have ever seen. I would figure a Bronco to be short enough to use a one piece rear driveshaft, where mine is a two piece.
My opinion is that you going to look high and low for the correct factory driveshafts and come up empty in the end.
I can't believe that you don't have a competent driveline shop near you. You may to take a bit of a drive to find one, but I really think you're going to end up doing that.

It sure is looking that way so far. We had one driveline shop, Roanoke springs works, but they have not done driveshafts for quite some time. I have found out there is a couple 4x4 shops around though, that install lift kits. I am going to try contacting them which may be my only hope as of now, short of having the tailshafts swapped.
