Here is the best I could find on craigslist. I did see one that was a one piece with a slip yoke for a 4x4 shortbed.

still looking

What are you looking to spend?
A few measurements, some measuring in the scrapyard (or not if you have a doner), and time at the driveshaft wizard gets thing going.

I have an extra shortbed 1 piece in storage. I'll get a measurement and weigh it to check out shipping.

Thanks GC

What transmission are you running? I have one out of my shortbed. The truck had a longtail (9") th350 trans. I'd have to measure the length on it. I swapped rear-ends and am going to have a new one made so I wont need it.

**ScottH** · 05-09-2014, 12:21 PM

As long as its the right length is would work.
Appreciate u measuring it when u get a chance.

kxmotox247 · 05-10-2014, 12:22 PM

Sorry. This one is 55.5".

**ScottH** · 05-10-2014, 01:52 PM

thanks for checking

kxmotox247 · 05-10-2014, 02:03 PM

No problem. Sorry you can't use it. I need one about a 1.5" longer so I can't use it either and have to get one made.

GCncsuHD · 05-12-2014, 06:34 AM

Scott, sorry, mine is about 55" center to center of u-joints, came up a little short for you.

**ScottH** · 05-12-2014, 09:50 AM

Thanks for checking

Hey Scott,
This is kind of a bump for you.
So, you're looking for a 1pc short bed driveshaft?
I also have been looking.
But my looking is premature, because I haven't got the tranny in yet.
I guess what I'm doing at this point is trying to find what the standard stock drive shaft length would be for those that came with a th350.
So is that your setup?
