Hi guys, newbie on this website. Question I have is.

I have a 1965 Ford F100 2WD Shortbox Styleside that someone at one time had transplanted a 302 V8 3 speed manual and I am assuming at the same time swappd out the transmission or may have used the original trans?? I just bought another truck which is a 1965 Ford F250 Camper Special long box with a 352 V8 and 4 speed top loader transmission. I am looking to swap the motor and trans from the F250 to my F100. My question is am I going to have to custom fabricate a driveshaft seeing that the output shafts are different on the transmissions? The 3 speed has a slip out yoke and the 4 speed has a fixed yoke. Or will I just remove the slip out style yoke at the U Joint and install onto the other fixed yoke? I hope this makes sense what I am asking. I can snap some pictures if needed of what I am talking about.

Does anyone have a picture or know if the oem driveshaft on a 1965 F100 shortbed 2wd pickup was a one piece or a two piece with a support bearing? If anyone has a picture they could post it would be greatly appreciated. Any info would be greatly appreciated
