2wd Auto to Manual Conversion

I am converting my 2wd truck from a C6 auto to a 4 speed. The 4 speed has a fixed yoke. I haven't looked, but am under the assumption that the driveshaft for the C6 has a yoke that slides into the transmission. Where can I find a driveshaft, or the parts to have one made?

I am doing pretty much the same thing The standard requires a longer driveline so I just measured it out, going to use the original rear tube up to the slip joint, then cutting the front tube from the donor vehicle so it will be welded to the front half of the center slip joint with the carrier bearing on it so the length come out right and just bolt it in. I had to do it this way though as the standard has a bigger joint but the tubes were the same diameter
