I don't believe that any of our trucks came from the factory with a one piece driveshaft. I have heard of folks using an 80's vintage truck driveshaft. Do a search for driveshaft swaps.
I'm pretty sure I know why your eating carrier bearings but it sounds like your heart is set on the single shaft swap so I won't go into it.
Here is a link to a low buck shock mount modification to get more vertical shock mounts.
