Default 92 dakota drive shaft question

Hello everyone, i recently was driving my dakota when i had the rear slip yoke of the drive shaft break and send my u joint into a million pieces. Now im having troubles finding that yoke piece. I keep seeing 1st gen v6 drive shafts but mine is a v8 does anyone know if it would fit? My drive shaft is also a 2 piece rwd which for some reason is all the more elusive. My pic a part only has the v6 as well. Any insight would help

Not coming up with one of them fellers. However, Rock Auto offers a one piece conversion shaft for the 123 inch wheelbase trucks.....

Its a 130 wheel base. 😮‍💨 a conversion might be the way.

actually my wheel base is 131 but the drive shaft length matches those ones on rock auto at 70 inches. So long as the drive shaft length is the same the wheelbase doesnt matter right?

I would think if the replacement is the correct length... it *should* work......
