Phil,

Is your driveshaft enclosed all the way to the rear-end or is it a two piece shaft with the front portion enclosed and the rear portion open?

If the rear portion is open, then you should be able to adapt a two piece open shaft from a later Chevy pickup. Most competent automotive machine shops can shorten or retube shafts to change the length and ends as needed to fit your specific truck. Bigger cities usually have specialty driveline shops that can do the work also.
