I had no luck finding any when I was looking either. The driveline shops in my area had nothing in any of their books. The large size at least has a conversion yoke, but the small ones there's nothing. Even most of the big driveshaft shops I contacted knew nothing about Detroit joints in general.
Maybe Midwest or someone might have some NOS, but I think it was more common to just replace the whole shaft. Best bet might be to find a shop that can cut the old ones off another shaft.
Of course the other big problem I had was that most of the shops didn't have fixtures to fit the large cap size of the Detroit U-joints, and so couldn't balance the shafts once they were welded.
