One piece driveshaft swap

[runningslow]

I've got a '97 Ranger Supercab 2WD 2.3L with a 5 speed and I want to swap in a one piece driveshaft.

I'm assuming I've got to use a 2WD shaft, because the 4WD length is different, but what is the difference between the auto and manual driveshafts? When I'm looking for a shaft, I keep finding ones that are from automatics, but none from a manual.

I already searched for the measurement , I think its 60 63 63.5, but it is best to measure yourself and see their length.
4x4 use 47'' Dshaft --->>>the distance weld-to-weld
looking online at car-parts.com

Spline size & length are different between an auto and manual 2WD trans.

Found one. Hopefully I won't have too much trouble getting it in once its here. Thanks for info guys.

I actually almost had one locally a few days ago from a JY around the corner from where I work, but the driveshaft had what looked like some forklift damage to it. So, I didn't buy that one.
