I paid about $150 to have a new one made when I did my C6 swap.

About $225 was a quote for a complete one piece when I did my C-6 swap.
Ended up shortening and adapting one out of an 84 F250 for $175. They had to take 3" total out of it and change the back yoke to fit the Dana 60. Reused the slip yoke and replaced the u-joints, painted and balanced. Quite a bit of work actually for the money so I can't complain.

Powertrain Industries on Anthony st. in Garden Grove.. their work is impeccable, as far as a price well They were not bad on my previous builds..

Powertrain Industries - Garden Grove :: Garden Grove, CA 92841 :: Products + Services

my other fave is Drivelines Incorporated On McLaren drive by the El Toro Y they build racing drive lines mostly for off road... but they do anything...

Drivelines Incorporated

Those are the two good ones in the OC area their are others but if you want the job done right.....

Ya thanks man, I called Drivelines Inc and they said 300.00 to build one from scratch. But i have the yoke and alls they need to do is cut my old one down 4 inches and then he said 200.00 so that works for me.
