I just can't catch a break... My Chev is hurting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

That's pretty ugly (there's an oxymoron for ya), Young Lady.

I've seen stuff "grenade" before, but never quite that bad; at least not recently.

Judging from the pictures (and I could very well be wrong), I'm going to guess the problem was in the transfer case and not the driveshaft; like maybe something in the transfer case seized & quit turning, but the truck kept rolling along.
I also think you're very lucky that the driveshaft didn't dig into the asphalt (bitumen?) & send you down the road in a series of "endos".

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
