Re: Did the 1/2 ton short beds come with a two piece driveshaft?

I just bought one from supposedly a long bed truck and that section is about a foot too long on my '71 short bed
No; they are all different.

Probably a dozen front shaft part numbers, and maybe two dozen rear shaft part numbers.

Have you seen the brake charts that I refer to from time to time?

There are propshaft charts like that, too. I asked the engineer for a copy of the charts and he said he would supply them, but never came through.
