1 piece or 2 piece drive shaft advise - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm getting at the point where I'm going to be shortening the drive shaft in my 70 1/2T long fleet. It has a 350 turbo in at the moment. I'm installing a 700r4 and will be taking 3 inches off the shaft. Question is, since I'm going through all this, should I just convert to a 1 piece shaft or stay with the 2 piece one? The truck is stock height, and will be staying that way. Are there any major mods to do too the frame for a 1 piece? Will the carrier support be in the way of a 1 piece? Any advice??
