I have had and have a lwb truck with built motors. I hate those carrier bearings they really suck. I have heard late model one piece driveshafts will work, but i've never seen it done. I was almost certain that the angle you would put your driveshaft at would wear out your pinion seal on your rearend.
As lame as this advice is. I carry a spare driveshaft in my truck complete set up bearing and all. I'm wondering myself if i installed a long tail 350 turbo with a custom built driveshaft would it work. Probably have to do some torching on the crossmember and reinforce frame in another spot. I'm open for suggestions.
