Here's the page of them from the MPC. You can see there were a bunch of possibilities depending on 3SPD light or medium duty, normal or overdrive and what type of rear differential (locking versus non-locking) but this should have the info you are after in that page.

In my opinon, go to a driveshaft shop ask what measurements they need and have one made, by the time you buy a junkyard part and rebuild, you'll have enough to buy a shop made one. Without all the hassle!!!

What's wrong with yours? The slip yoke and companion flange were sold by themselves.

Hi Bill... Thanks for the reply. The original was missing from the truck when I purchased it. It is a short bed truck... So I believe it is just a one piece. Honestly I didn't realize it would be so difficult to find a replacement. I guess I will just have on made.

I agree with Robert. I needed one for my shorty after the tranny change, scrounged the big pile of driveshafts to find one. Cost $90 with taxes. Then more $$ for two combination u-joints. And it turns out I measured wrong at the outset resulting in it being 1" too short. Now I worry about breaking it or having it pop out of the trans going over a bump.
I intend to get a custom unit when I add more power.
