4L80E driveshaft needed

I'm in the middle of swapping my 1989 Silverado SWB to a 2000 5.3 4L80E. Anyone know which driveshafts can be used. My trans has a yoke for a ujoint on the end so I'm assuming I need something with ujoints on both ends.

Any likely donor vehicles? Someone mentioned Express Vans?

driveshaft

So the only difference is the turbo 400 end is a slip splined end and on my 2wd 4L80E the yoke is bolted in?

make sure you get the RIGHT Th400 yoke.
this is the yoke to reference for dimensions needed
Neapco N3R-3-9161X yoke

You may not be able to find that particular yoke except on the net for order but many places make a yoke, just need to look up the part number and get the dimensions.

I can not stress this enough. I some how got a Th400 yoke that is rare and has caused me alot of headache. The OD was not correct.
