A good driveshaft shop can cut, weld in new ones and balance in a few days.

We found out how important it was to have the right guy do the job.
The vibration was 10 times worse after it was done the first time, by 2nd string guy when the #1 man was on vacation. We put it up on jack stands and ran it and you could see the up and down movement. With a dial indicator it was a full 1/8" out ( .125+)

After it was redone by the right guy, smooth as silk.
Just remember to use new pinion nuts since the are one use only and stretch.

Plus I pull tankers. The guy at Fleetpride near me is real good. All it needed was the slip yoke. The other part was ok.
