Do you need a 1 piece, a 2 piece, what are your body options, what trans do you have.

The more info you give up front the faster people can figure it out and help you.

Why would anyone want a CV shaft? I got rid of all but one BII length that I had, converted all of my BIIs over to U-joint shafts with a slip joint.

the frod 9" has a very low pinion. So i have it pointing up at the rear of the t-case. The result is a major u-joint angle miss alignment, so I need a cv joint.

Why not a cardigan U-joint shaft with a slip joint?

BII CV shafts love to detonate.

I have a cardigan off a shortbox Ranger somewhere around here. The cardigan works but will probably need rebuilt before too long. I'll have to dig it out an get a measurement. Don't think I have anything else I can give up right now.

I think Explorers got cardigan shafts with slip joints, might be worth looking into.
