You are going to have to find one out of a 5 spd truck for it to fit. There are also different front u-joints depending on the year.

Might be able to use a conversion u-joint to make it work. A Spicer 527x joint or equivalent could be the answer.

might only cost $100 or less to shorten the one you have---make sure both ends fit correctly....
