Have you tried some one who makes driveshafts.

Yes , I went to a local Driveshaft maker and together we looked thru his catalogs. Couldn't match anything.

I was having the same trouble finding one. I did find a tri five cheby one and it seemed to fit very nice in my open driveline 3 spd truck tranny. The difference is the cheby one is longer than the ford stock one . I think a machinist could shorten it to stock ford specs for you. I didn't mike the cheby one but it seemed to fit nicely other than being too long. Then the u-joint would be the next hurdle.
