Cool Drive train size??

Okay, so I have an 83 K5 Blazer full size and the drive shaft is missing, it’s sitting on a 6” spring lift, it has the 6.2L diesel, a 700r4 4x4 transmission, not sure about transfer car. But Idk what drive shaft size I need, I don’t know if there’s another body style one I could use, im missing both front and rear drive shaft. Can someone help me out trying to find the correct one that fits my 83 K5??

for the front driveshaft they should all be interchangible between pick up trucks, suburbans and blazers. i know that cause i took all my drivetrain off my k5 blazer put it on a suburban, now its all on a k30 pick up.

but there are variables in the front driveshaft depending on what transmission and transfercase you have as some transmissions are longer and some transfercases have different mounting flanges for the the driveshafts.

for example the front driveshaft off of a np203 transfercase will not bolt up to a np208 transfercase. or vice versa

I'd research how to measure driveshaft length as if it were a custom length. Then compare my lengths to factory shafts. The diesel, lift and transfer case may or may not match factory length.
