Mine's a 3600 as well. I don't have any wreckers left near me so don't even have the option of digging around like we used to before all the regs basically killed the automotive recycling industry up here. Luckily we have a local machine shop that does driveshafts.

With my T5 swap I went to a one-piece driveshaft with a slip yoke (the output on my T5 is a fixed yoke, cobbled together); the slightly longer wheelbase vs. a 1/2 ton is not an issue if you have a driveshaft company nearby. They will balance it too. Definitely more $$$
