I had a similar promblem years ago on my 72 GMC Sierre Grande. The carrier bearing mount had actually stressed and snap. I paid an Exxon station in the area of my break down a 100 dollar bill to tow it in and weld it for me. 20 miles down the road on the way home , it breaks again above the new weld. After a long agrument with the station, they came and got it and welded it again. I think that one lasted 2 days. Disgusted, I called a buddy of mine that knew these trucks quite well. ( He has a 72 4X4 that he competes in truck pulls with) He brought up a drive shaft out of a 72 chevelle. Worked perfect ! We took out the carrier bearing and never had another promblem with. I pulled a 22 foot camper for two more seasons with before I sold it. Now keep in mind that this was a shortbed, but if you measure center of yoke to center of yoke, a good salvage yard should be able to hook ya up
