Were SWB AT trucks 1 piece driveline or 2 piece?
Did trucks with 2 piece drive lines have slip yolks on the front shaft as well as the rear?

I can't tell you why GM didn't put any slip joints between the transmission and the carrier bearing, my guess is there must be a downside side to that.
Only one point of length adjustment is needed for our trucks.
The photos are of the stock driveline from my 67 C10 Burban that was a Th400 from the factory. It has no slip joints, the rubber mounted carrier bearing, ad the long Th400 yoke. Typical 1/2 ton coil spring long bed automatic truck stuff.
