I'm guessing you're referencing the companion flange that attaches to the output shaft with a large nut --similar to what's on my C-4 in the following photos?

Upper pic: Companion flange located on rear axle, shown as 4851
Lower (upper) pic: Example of driveshaft with so called "fixed" yoke. 1973 was the first year that F100/250 4WD's were available with A/T
My 68 F250 has it Garret. But unknown what the tranny came out of. My rig has a 460 with a C6 the Po put in it now. Was originally a 390 and C6. But we all know the 390 tranny won't bolt up to a 460. The peanut plug 460 looks to be out of a 73 T-Bird or Lincoln. Was with a 1973/76 Dent fuel pump. DOVE intake. So it's a real JY blend I guess.

Edit. I've always assumed a 2 piece driveshaft would have a fixed yoke tranny.
Don't all bumps have a 2 piece driveshaft? I've got a 2 piece shaft with a slip yoke trans.
No. Looking up driveshafts there are a bunch of choices. But all the SWB ones are approx. 58-60" long and the LWB rear 1/2 shafts are approx. 38-40". So long bed rigs got a 2 piece and short bed rigs got a 1 piece from what I'm seeing.
So you have a slip yoke in the driveshaft and a 2nd one at the tranny?

I kinda remember shortbeds having one piece shafts now that you mention it.
Yep! One in the shaft behind the carrier bearing, and one at the transmission.
