Carrier bearing help

[Highfinance97]

I have a friend with a 1995 Reg cab with a 2' tool box and a 10' dump.
so it has 12' of frame behind the cab.

We are looking for the best carrier bearing or solution for replacing it.

If it was shorter we would just be making the driveshaft one piece.

oke:

Probably a little longer than a QC LB... What about a 1-piece aluminum?

What did you find when you were looking for a 1 piece aluminum?

Most places will build them up to 84" I think, 4 or 5" tube varying wall thickness.

PM on the way.

At one time, I read that someone was using a carrier bearing from an International truck. I talked to my driveshaft shop and he did not know of any IH carrier bearing that would work and said the carrier bearing under the Dodge was more than enough for my pulling activities. My 2 cents.

Is the drive shaft bent or anything? I was having similar problems and it had a bend where the splines are for the back shaft.
