drive shaft

so i did a lift on my 77 and have headers on it so now the front drive shaft wont fit i have been told i can out a jeep drive shaft on it but was wondering if anybody knew what year and model it would be? or of a site that tells u what drive shafts can be exchanged to different vehicles cuz i was told some sites but forgot them so any help would be great!!! thanks
oh ya yall might want to know my truck is a 1977 f150 4x4 4 speed im not sure what t-case just that its not full time 4wheel drive and i know the rear end is a ford 9inch but not sure on the front which is the one that matters haha

Likely a big heavy tough gear drive NP-205 transfer case.

What's the headers got to do with the drive shaft, it's got to go straight between the front axle's drive flange / yoke and the one on the transfer case. If the headers are in the way, easier to re-route a header pipe I'ld think.

Maybe I'm reading your post wrong?

i cant reroute a header its steel and came from hooker or headmen and like from the tcase to the front axel it hits the header cuz of the lift but either way i need a new drive shaft the one that was on there is seized.

I don`t know exactly how you would do it but what you are figuring if I am not mistaken is get a driveshaft coming out of the tcase going to another u-joint, then connecting to another driveshaft going to the axle like that on some newer trucks going to the rear axle? At that rate you would probably be further to go to a custom exhaust shop and have a set of headers made or lose 4wd, like half the show trucks I see.
