My experience is that not all of the winch driveshafts are the same. One may look original, but have been replaced with something else similar at one time or another.
If you have an original made by Blood Brothers, it would be an agricultural design, not an automotive design. The two designs are different and do not interchange - kind of like inch and metric. Looking for a replacement through Spicer, Dana, or Dodge would not be of much use. Napa carries some agricultural parts depending upon how much call there is for the ag equipment in the nearby proximity of the particular store. Most larger cities have dedicated driveline businesses. Places that carry, or have access to finding, about any driveline part ever made. If the large city is in the middle of farm country, the chance of them having agricultural parts is higher. If they do not have them, or do not know where to order them, they are probably not one of the better driveline businesses. The better ones can custom build about anything you want.
You can always try Vintage Power Wagons, A.B. Linn, John Bizal, or any of the other people who specialize in Power Wagon parts.
