Drive shaft (1 Viewer)

[GLTHFJ60]

I'm with poser, put a single joint driveshaft in there.

When the truck was built, was there a reason why they used a two piece rear driveshaft, maybe to use a commonly-available shaft to go from the carrier bearing to the rear axle?

Either way, I'd pack a few extra u-joints to repair on the road.

Depends on the angles of the rear output flange at the transfer and the driveshaft flange on the differential. If they're the same, then no. If the axle flange is pointing at the transfercase, then yes.

The SAE bolts holding up the support bearing crossmember should be a clue this was not a Toyota part.

Because I wheel the piss out of my lwb45, the thought of a 62" driveshaft makes me hella nervous. I'd investigate @Redgrrr suggestion of a rock buggy support bearing.
