I believe you can get a remanufactured one from partsgeek.com, amongst others.

Mine was a 2 piece but it broke and I'm swapping to a 1 piece shaft I think it's supposed to be 47 in weld to weld

There is a guide about this on another unmentionable ranger forum. Some say if you google One-Piece Rear Driveshaft Swap, it's the second link down.

If you want to go with the bigger 4 inch aluminum one you can get one from a 2002 Ranger extended cab 4x4 five speed, you would also have to get the front flange for the transmission due to the aluminum driveshaft having a bigger front mounting flange

have you called your local yards? or checked CL for people parting out?
I got mine from an extended cab. As long as you get one from an ex cab you should be fine.

Any rear driveshaft from a 1998+ Ranger (or Mazda B-series) supercab would fit. See my photos at http://imgur.com/a/BL7mz
I got mine via Craigslist from a 2001 Ranger being parted out.
Fwiw, I've read that the rear driveshaft from a '02-'05 Explorer Sport Trac 4x4 would also fit.
