I've had two shortbeds, one 1972 250 6 cylinder with a turbo 350 all original, and a 1971 250 6 cylinder with a 3 speed manual, and both have had one piece driveshafts. There is not even anyplace for a carrier bearing to mount to on either one. There are holes in the crossmember that the trailing arms bolt to, but it doesn't look like there has ever been anything bolted or rivited to it.
