Along those lines...
I use a male/female 1 3/8 inch (?) splined shaft from agricultural
tractors. Tractor Supply has a shaft approx 8 inches long that has a
male spline on one end and a female on the other. You can split it and
use both pieces to make a good drive joint.
I would think it would be less expensive and easier to find than a truck
part.

The best way to couple a mast to a prop motor is to use a spline and socket
from a truck driveshaft. Weld the spline to the bottom of the mast, and make
an adapter to attach the socket to the prop motor bevel gear. Easy to separate
if you need to, but guaranteed no slip.
