[DeTomaso] Half shaft questions

Just got a call from my local driveline shop. My half-shafts appear
to have been sleeved in order to adapt an off-the-shelf spicer
u-joint. They are now asking me what to do.
As I recall, sleeving is not a good idea. Their other option was to
use a Toyota cap and mill the clips. Also not a good idea. A third
option was to build me new half-shafts at about $300 each (ouch!) So
it looks like my half-shafts are stock (haven't been machined) but
don't have the stock u-joints. Not surprising really since the car
has over 100K miles (estimated).
What are my -real- options here? Anybody have a special running on
Pantera specific u-joints? Should I just bite the bullet and get all
new half-shafts from a vendor?
Idea, options?
