Two piece driveshaft carrier replacement. Any help?

[SweetandLong68]

Hey guys,

I just picked up a 71 LWB that needs a new carrier bearing for the two piece driveshaft.

Any tips that you guys can think of on replacing one? I already bought a new Timken bearing. Pretty straightforward work to me but I thought I would ask anyways.

BTW...Is there any way to go to a one piece driveshaft??

What about something a bit stronger? I am building a 400+ hp SBC to go in this truck and I wonder how much stress this design can take? Any help there???

thanks much
CHRIS
