Arnie, you should be able to re-use your existing prop shaft (if serviceable) and simply swap over the drive flange on the axle pinion.
A popular mod is to fit a later, Hardy-Spicer type prop shaft. For these, new universal joints are readily available; or you can buy brand new shafts. To fit them you need to fit the appropriate drive flanges to axle & gearbox - which is quite easily done, if you can find the things at a reasonable price. (You might then find the front U/J touches the handbrake lever, but this it fairly easily remedied).
