Post twopiece, I need to kow asap, so i can fix it


Why does my '76 GMC Sierra C-1500 have a two piece rear driveshaft ?

Do the trucks with two piece shaft use the 6" tail tranny(TH350), or use the 9" tail truck tranny ? ?

Can I replace the two piece with a one-piece shaft from a 78 C-10 with the same tranny, wheel base, and axle as the C-1500 ?

The 76 C-1500 two piece shaft broke at the rear yoke, so....

I appreciate anything !

-'77 Electra 403/TH350
-'76 GMC C-1500 Sierra Classic 350ci/TH350
-'68 C-10 chassis
-'72 K-5 chassis

Note: Looking for an S-10, Nova, Malibu, Monza, or similar for sale for around $1200

Randy, it has something to do with the factory load capacity. Yes you can replace it with a one piece after removing the bearing support.My LWB one piecer has a 9" tail . the two piecers are much more forgiving to heavy loads and balance problems.DAVE
