Need urgent help finding rear driveshaft/compatible trucks

[cjgoode]

We have a 1992 4x4 v6 standard cab short bed pickup. The drive shaft has broken where it holds the u joint on, I cannot find a replacement and do not want to pay $800 to the dealer.

What vehicles/years/options can I look to pull one from. Cannot find a single toyota pickup in the junk yards here. I read they are different for v6/i4 automatic/vs manual transmission. Looks like I can use one form a 4runner, but what year and options, not that I saw any 4 runners either. But can start searching CL for someone parting one out maybe.

Any suggestions would help, I desperately need to get my sons truck back on the road.

This may have already been exhausted as an option but I would suspect any year pickup of similar configuration would work, but not sure about other options. If you are in a pinch you can run it in front wheel drive by locking the hubs and running in 4-hi with the rear shaft pulled.

Driveshaft shop can most likely fix it.
