Driveshaft help

If getting my driveshaft rebuilt by a machine shop is gonna be too expensive, and i dont find a driveshaft for my 83 GSL what driveshaft can i use in it's place? and if anyone has a driveshaft for me and i can afford the shipping i'll buy it.

Have any junkyards nearby? I had a drivetrain shop put two half-good driveshafts together. plus (i think) they rebuilt one of the u-joints. they charged $70 for all that. -not too shabby
