Iv'e seen big block 1/2 tons with 1 and 2 piece and small block trucks with 1 or 2 piece in both long and short bed configs.....that one has always intrigued me .
1 or 2 piece drive lines were always determined by total length, trans yoke to diff yoke.
if you get a drive shaft too long it has a nasty tendency to flex in the middle at high speeds.
