Where are you looking? You have a regular cab short bed truck, If you find another like yours it should have the same drive shaft.

Pretty much any driveline shop can make one actually. Regular cab short bed trucks are not that common so I'm not surprised nobody stocks a driveshaft for it.

Yikes at least price a quality shaft from someplace like Tom Woods before paying for Dorman ilk. If you have a companion flange at rear pinion you could even step up in u-joint size if you wanted
