Man, As many old trannys as there out in the world, swap in another one rather than rebuild. Manual tranny rebuilding can be costly.

You can have a new driveshaft made up by a driveline shop.

If looking for used, the wheelbase will make a difference. The Ford type 3.03 3 speed manual driveshaft is a different length than the Borg Warner T-85N 3 speed manual with overdrive driveshaft.

And, if a long bed, these trucks came with a two piece driveshaft w/a center support separating the two.
