Drive Shaft

Well I noticed a little rumble when going over bumps on the highway and could feel a little hesitation at slow cruising speed. It was the drive shaft about to come out. I decided I needed to check it so I tore it apart last night and its a wonder it would drive as well as it did. The u joint is badly worn out and rubbed a flat spot on the side of the drive shaft. There are several on Ebay but most are for a 1999. Mine is a 2000 Nomad 1500G2. Is a drive shaft for a 1999 the same thing? One of the compatibility list says it won't fit. I saw another printed list that said they are the same from the 80s up to the 1600s. I figured if I can get a good shaft and install a new u joint it will run another 130,000 miles (I replaced it at about 50,000)
Thanks,
Zoom45
