grab one from the junk yard and bolt it in  :thumbup:

You should be able to just pull the center support bearing out along with the 2 piece driveshaft and replace it with a one piece.  No cutting or welding should be required.

I did it on the pathy and had plenty of clearance with a 3 - 4" lift.
I don't think i have any pics though.
