Drive Shafts

Do most pickup trucks have two drive shafts with the bearing in the middle of it or is this just a ford thing. Or would it depend on the length. Maybe a crew cab would have two and a regular cab just one. Got some ideas just looking into things. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

yes it depends on length of the truck. Brand doesn't matter. For us regular cab long box and SC SB have single piece drive shaft and SC LB and CC LB have two piece drive shafts

When i had a tacoma, it had a split shaft (mostly for ground clearance).
It's fairly common i think
