2 piece drive shaft

Heya guys,
I'm trying to figure out where to get a 2 piece drice shaft for my 72 C10 SWB

I have a single but since I'm putting the truck on the ground, (PB Extreme)

I am under the impression that I have to run the 2 piece.

Any help would be nice.

Thanks guys.

Re: 2 piece drive shaft

Does it need to be brand new?Can you find a used drive shaft locally?if you get a 2 piece from a longbed you can have have it cut down and rebalanced.That's what i did kinda...
Only the front drive shaft will need to be shortened.The rear is the same for longbed and shortbeds.

Re: 2 piece drive shaft

lolife said I did, and I believe him due to the fact he has built a ton of these lowered trucks. I guess I just need to hit the junk yards around here. Thanks for the help.
