If it was me, I would probably install a used driveshaft and get whatever I could from the insurance company. You certainly can't replace the car for the cost of the repair and it's pretty much worthless with a broken driveshaft. I don't see how you have much choice.

Anyway, I would assume the book value is significantly more than $3200, and the insurance company has already spent the $1200 (so they won't get that back even if they total the car at this point).

Are there any members in the Las Vegas, Nv. area that could help
BLEVINSAX ?
I don`t know how many 91 350SD there are in the wrecking yards, but
what other drive lines would fit this car?

Find a used one, replace the center support and bearing, maybe the flex
disc`s. not that hard to remove and replace. the price the mech. quoted
seems high. but don`t know what other damages there are not seeing
what is there.

If I were closer I would zoom over.
