Re: Coil driveshaft on leaf truck?

The carrier bearing and brackets are not different...but there are 2 carrier styles with corresponding brackets, they are fitted to trucks based on engine size and tonnage.
They are interchangeable.

Ive never checked but the placement of the crossmember could be in a different location making the driveshafts not interchangeable.

When making a short bed truck only the front half of the driveshaft needs to be shortened. Its probably more cost effective to have it shortened.

Its actually pretty easy to do at home if you take careful measurements. Ive done dozens of them, never had one with any vibration issues either.
