Well, my driveshaft won't work then, it's for the yoke style front output.

So you have a Dana 60 front axle with a 1350 U joint up front??? C4 maybe able to confirm that. For a quick patch job, I'd imagine you could get by with a 1/2 or 3/4 ton front driveshaft and use a combo U joint to the front axle. The SM465/NP205 is not all that uncommon. It's the 1 ton front Dana 60 that's got you by the balls I think.

Is your driveshaft completely missing or just in need of repair or what?

Some D60s have 1310 pinion u-joint, like mine right now, but upgradeable to 1350. If you're looking for the upgrade get a Dodge 2500 front driveshaft from a 2005-up truck. Not sure what the upper limit is on years, that's just what I heard. They have 35+ degree running angle of the double cardan joint, and 1350 u-joints throughout.

To be able to go with Jeremy's driveshaft you need a front output yoke from a 73-77 (maybe 73-76) truck. This is what I'm running now. You could use this front yoke...

...IF you have a 10-spline front output, which I dont think you do. I think 203s have 10 splines, 205s have 27 splines, you should count them to be sure. I went with the F*rd 32 spline front output shaft mod for NP205 so I could run rear yokes on the front. It opens up your options to 1350 and 1410 if you want to run much larger u-joints. Just have to swap in a rear yoke seal in the front to make it work.
