Drive Shaft

I have a 69 F100 and after close examination the drive shaft at some point the previous owner put a slight bend in it. I know where there is a 1969 truck but it is a 3/4 ton not a 1/2 like mine. Will that drive shaft fit my truck?

Are they both 2WD and do they both have the same engine and transmission?
But the long drive shaft from my parts 302/3spd fit right into my 390/Auto. And it is the same as my 390/4spd.

Is the F100 2WD or 4WD with a short or long bed?

Years ago my Dad put a 3/4 ton rear end in his 67 f-100 2wd. If my memory severs me right. He did not have a new drive shaft made.We did however have to carry two different spare tires.
