What is your question?
The rear section wobbled at the knuckle and finally came apart at the knuckle. It is connected on one half, the other side is apart showing the pin.

Hello! To replace the rear section is likely going to be around $300 plus around that much for labor. To be safe, you may want to replace the entire drive-shaft (parts about $600 depending on vendor) as something caused the rear section to wear to the point of failure, the rest of the drive-shaft may not be too far behind.
I thank you for you quick response. I will purchase thewhole shaft. What degree of difficulty is the install?
The degree depends more on one's tools and experience. It won't be impossible, but it will be more difficult without a lift to put the truck on. I would say it's the same degree of difficulty as doing a brake job on one axle. It looks like your drive-shaft may have a center support bearing, which requires preloading to avoid vibration and quicker wear. Be sure to search/read up on the proper install procedure if you're doing this at home!
