Repair it? Are the U-joints just worn out? That's something most anyone could tackle with a table vice. Aside from the U-joints there's not much to repair. You could call a local auto shop to ask which machine shop they use to repair/modify their driveshafts. Otherwise you might find a replacement in a junkyard or there always seems to be somebody parting out a B2 on craigslist.

Driveshaft

There are no U-joints, there's only CV type driveshaft. The ball barring
& all that stuff have fallen out of the driveshaft. so I was thinking about repairing the CV type joint. Any advice would be very appreciated. thank you

Sorry, you did mention cv type. I'm not familiar with that setup. Autozone does not list any driveshaft parts, other than the whole assembly for $309. Jeff's Bronco Graveyard does list some 'GKN' type parts, or the whole U-joint style replacement shaft for $195. You might do well to give them a call. They've helped me quite a bit the last few years.

It was $180 with free shipping.
