lol i didnt lose my driveshaft....

Long story short, few years ago my brother threw out the clutch in my dads truck (mine now) and the guy who worked on it was trying to pry something and poked a whole in the oil pan and needless to say the truck ended up sitting for 3 years between different people trying to fix it and bla bla, so the bolts got lost for the drive shaft.

Drive shaft will not be necessary for alignment, and why not just get them from Ford, can't be that much more expensive.
