Re: Did the 1/2 ton short beds come with a two piece driveshaft?

note yet the different style center bracket

my guess is that the donor truck had a differential with a longer (I think it's called) third member

that or maybe the truck had a Dana diff, I think the seller pointed out a bunch of trucks on his lot that actually had Dana rear differentials

any thoughts on this folks?
you may be onto something there,that picture of the crossmember with the trailing arms attached and the bracket that the steady bearing would bolt to,is identical to what's in my 72 truck,with a Dana 60 and leaf springs.
