1986 Ranger 2.9 4WD Manual, missing driveshaft

[Acanthus]

Thank you for this forum and all the free information and assistance that it provides. I love my truck but the yoke broke, the driveshaft fell down and the mechanic/tow guy stole half my driveshaft and made off with my money. How do I determine the length to look for without being able to measure the whole thing? I just have the long piece, I know there’s an E57A and an E67A but I don’t know the measurements of those either. I found a guy who will make one but he of course needs the length. He, I guess, could just make the short piece but will need the length of that also.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I don’t get to drive it much just in 4WD.
Cheers,
Lance
