Drive train help, please!

I just posted this in the drive train section but thought I might get more luck here.

OK I'm trying to figure out what to do about my drive line in my 69 GMC SWB. I'm dropping the truck 6 inches front and back and I was thinking of swapping over to a 1 piece drive line to prevent extreme drive line agles. Note this truck will see excessive speeds on the track of 150+. Some concerns arise for me here as to whats better structurally thou. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I dont know much about dropping a truck, or speeds at 150 mph, but the one piece makes the most sence to me.
