1969 C20 Drive Shaft Center Support - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I need to order a replacement drive shaft center support bearing for my 69 C20. All the ones I see pictures of look different than what is in my truck now. It appears to be 2 pieces bolted together and no visible rubber surrounding the bearing. Any ideas? Big block with leaf springs if that helps.

That is the HD support bearing. Same one that's on my leaf spring shorty actually. And here is a link to what I found:

What they said! Leaf spring trucks and 3/4 ton and up have different carrier bearings than most 1/2 ton coil spring trucks.
