Default Interchangable Driveshafts

I need to change the driveshaft in my 92 GT and foxbody mustangs are in short supply around here. Are there any other driveshafts on other Ford vehicles that interchange with the mustang's?
Thanks

Ive only heard that auto's and manuals can be interchanged. No other driveshaft that i know of that are interchangeable.

lots of driveshafts will work if they are cut to fit. Around here less than a hundred dollars will get you a driveshaft. 30 for some oddball length aluminum driveshaft at the junkyard and around 50 for the aluminum driveshaft guy to cut and weld

Check this out on the 'net: Aluminum driveshafts from certain years (early 90s) of AWD Aerostar vans (must be AWD) apparently fit into fox mustangs with relatively little modification. Lots of guys are using them 'cause they are lighter and cheap to buy from wreckers, so the story goes.
