Default front driveshaft trouble

I have a 1983 dodge w150 with the np435 4 speed. My front driveshaft is bad. No junk yard around me has a manual dodge. I was wondering if any other driveshaft off a different truck wuld work? The shaft off an automatic is to long. Plz help

What exactly is wrong with it? Does it just need u-joints?
They can be rebuilt easy enough, so if you don't think you can do it check your local Yellow Pages for a shop to have it rebuilt.

The u-joints r good the splines r shot and u can bend it up and down in the middle. I dont have the money to take it in and get rebuilt so i was hoping there was a different shaft tht wuld fit cuz all the junk yards around here dont have a manual dodge
