I changed out the center support bearing and u-joints on a 2 piece drive shaft. FYI, an L6 with a 3 speed manual transmission driveshaft is 68-1/4" long from center u-joint to center u-joint. A SBC with a 3 speed manual transmission is 71-1/2 inches from center u-joint to center u-joint. Both C-10s with 127 inch WB. I also noticed on mine, the center spline has 2 splines pushed together so its impossible to put the center yoke on wrong. that was nice of them
