It's a Pantera-specific part, but thankfully now they are pretty cheap.

Don't let anybody sucker you into paying hundreds of dollars for 'heavy
duty' 
Spicer driveshafts.   There was never anything wrong with the stock 
driveshafts; it was just the U-joints that were a known weak link.   For a
long time, 
replacement U-joints cost a fortune and it was cheaper to just replace the 
entire driveshaft.   That is no longer true.

Plan on replacing ALL of them at the same time.
