Ok so thanks to the neglect and abuse by the previous owner my u joint gave out tonight at about 45mph causing the driveshaft to flop around and dent the ends and crack. So what are my options? can i get a new end welded on or do i have to buy a whole new driveshaft? here are some pics...

go to a junk yard and pull one i would think would be the best and cheapest option

well LKQ has one here for $100 in good shape, but im going to get 2 new u joints just to be safe, but on autozone or kragen i cant find them. They dont have it for a 4 door auto trans ex. is the Manual and auto 4 door same size? I was thinking of getting the brute force ones.

i dont know its weird i look at pep boys and all that maybe they are the same heres what the site for pep boys says Rear Joint PREMIUM - REAR SHAFT, ALL POSITIONS - A4LD TRANS - 4 SPD TRANS - FORD TRANS - w/TRANSMISSION

EDDIE BAUER, SPORT, XLT , SPORT UTILITY - 2 DR - XL $11.99

According to Autozone, these are the part numbers for the ujoints

2wd 1-0153BF

4wd 1-0153DG

It did not ask if the truck was manual or auto, 4dr or 2dr.
