You are close to Indy I am sure there is a drive line shop there and they can make one for you.

Pobly broke a u-joint (rear) and the shaft flailed around and broke. This happened to my neighbors F150. Sucks when a u-joint breaks when you have your foot on the floor!
Anywho, look in the yellow pages for a spicer driveline shop. They should have all the parts to fix or replace your shaft since spicer built it in the first place.

Ya I dropped my driveshaft one day when my carrier took a crap. Luckily all I had to replace was the carrier itself but I did replace the u-joints while I was there too. But anyway maybe the reason your driveshaft fell is because the carrier broke.

somewhere,ma
can you snap a picture or 2 of it?it would help us to help you better if we knew exactly what your looking for/broke.problem with finding a used shaft in a junkyard is they pick the cars/trucks up with a loader with forks on it and almost everytime they bend the shafts.a straight used one will be hard to find unless one of us has one
