“Torque tube bushing”

I have a 1950 F3. I had the clutch replaced last week and the mechanic (whom I really trust) told me I needed to replace the torque tube bushing. He said it was easy and I could do it myself. Problem is I cant find anything called a torque tube bushing for the truck. Im I missing something or is it called something different on this truck?

Chevrolet calls it a "propeller shaft bushing"
Looking through my 1948-56 parts book I didn't find anything with a "torque tube".
Is the driveshaft open? Maybe he meant the Carrier bearing if 2 piece drive shaft.

I'd bet on the carrier bearing, too. The Van Pelt page is for 30's - 40's Ford Cars, which used a true torque tube.
