It exists! I wanted a better front shaft but I'll be running a 208 or 241 for a while as I don't foresee having the money for a doubler in the near future.
I have the 52" springs in the front so I have decent driveshaft angle and travel requirements. I was running a front shaft without a CV that seemed to be working fine. It was 1310 at the axle and 1310/S44 at the t-case.
Now don't laugh but I had taken the flange from my factory CV, cut out the centering ball and used a conversion joint to run this shaft. It worked, but I was really worried about the ears spreading apart.
So I didn't want to keep that shaft in there much longer. I really didn't want to spend the money on a 1350 CV and then if the shaft needed to be repaired for some reason I'd get nailed in the wallet again.
I called and talked to Jess at High Angle Driveline (HAD). Come to find out I could get a 1410 shaft for the front with a flange for the 208/241 tcase. I ended up getting the shaft and a 1410 D60 yoke.
My angle finder says about 42°, but Jess says it's a 38° setup. I think the reason mine is higher is because the tcase flange isn't perfectly perpendicular.
My shaft is 35.5" at static length, that's from flange face to center of cap in the axle end. It's built with 9" of slip, 3" compressed & 6" extended. That gives me 1-2" of extra slip in both directions.
It was a little bit of a trick to get installed. For one thing, this is a heavy mother.
The other complication is the size of the 1410 yoke makes the clearance to get the bolts in the flange a little tight. I had to wiggle them a bit, but they did go. It would be much easier with 2 people, one to hold the shaft while the other gets the bolts in. I wonder if a stud setup could be made to work easier. 
I know some are probably wondering how much? I actually can't say because this ended up being a gift, so I don't know what the cost is. Best bet is to call Jess at HAD.
I know it was considerably less than a 1350 CV shaft and I like the simplicity of single 1410 joints.
I just thought I'd share because I didn't think something like this was even possible. Plus I found out you can even get a 1410 slip yoke for the rear shaft. Can't decide on that one because eventually I'd like to get an SYE.
