Have you checked for a local drive shaft shop? They can make you a custom fit and you have the ability to get any problems solved quickly. Exactly. I had a aluminum one made by my local drive line shop built for a very reasonable cost and took them one day to make it. I am still using it 12 years later under my 440 6 pak dana 71 challenger with 12" wide tires in the rear. Weighed less than than a steel one and cost a whole lot less than having one shipped to me.

Order a Strange through Dr. Diff.
After deperately trying to keep my dollars local and the local Powerdrive driveline shop BSing me and telling me they couldn't find a yoke for my 727 (even after showing them a Dana/Spicer part #, for which they are a dealer) I gave up and ordered it online from Dr. Diff. A friend and I later compared pricing (he ordered local) and his was double what I paid!
Very happy with my shaft as it's completely eliminated my breakage issues.
'63 Dodge 330 11.19 @ 121 mph Pump gas, n/a, through the mufflers on street tires with 3.54's. 3,600 lbs. 10.01 @ 133mph with a 250 shot of nitrous an a splash of race gas. 1.36 60 ft. 3,700 lbs.

If you want a drive shaft then most local shops will build you one from ends.
However if you want an exact reproduction of a Hemi Challenger driveshaft there was a guy at Carlisle that makes them. Not cheap ~ $1500 but it's a work of art.
I have the guys card at home if interested. I second what he said, for a OE level restoration, it's a must. I have one and it's beautiful. Almost hate to put on the car. If it's a driver, then lots of folks make them per the above posts.
