If you are missing it, you will need to have one made. About $300.00 to do that. If you have one that needs work, have it rebuilt. Most heavy truck shops can rebuild or make a new shaft for you.

Best bet is to have one made. They're not reproduced as far as I know, and buying a used one is sketchy at best.

When having a driveshaft made you will need to supply them with a yoke to yoke dimension. Make sure you measure correctly. Just a little advice from past experience.
