Drive line question
Why do some C-10s come with two piece driveline and others with a one piece?
I have seen long beds and short beds with one piece and two piece. |

Re: Drive line question
I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure they all came with 2 piece driveshafts but some people upgrade to a 1 piece to eliminate possible failure of the carrier bearing. I'm actually in the market right now for a new 1 piece for my truck

Re: Drive line question
Nope. The shortbed 1/2 ton trucks use a one piece.

Re: Drive line question
Some shortbed half tons used 1 piece. And some used 2 piece.
Over the years, I've seen one piece shafts only in original 6 cylinder trucks and 2 piece only in v8 trucks. I'm not saying its 100 percent, but I've seen more than a few and they always fell into the two specs above.

Re: Drive line question
Okay that makes sense. My truck was originally a swb half ton and it had a 2 piece but it also came with a v8. Learned something new today
