There should be a post up on here somewhere that tells all the parts you can pull from a junk yard to easily build your own or you could have one made but you are looking at big $$$. I found this thread on another site it might help BroncoII4x4.com Forum • View topic - Who knows about BII rear driveshafts.

Find a driveshaft from a ranger or explorer and have a driveshaft shop or machine shop shorten it to the length you need. Thats what I did for both of my Bronco II's.

If its your daily driver and it does not get abused I would just buy another Cv shaft. Got mine from NAPA for like $120. Had around 175,000 miles on the CV style. Really can't say that sux.
