What drive shaft do i need???

I finished swapping a 4x4 ZF5 in place of my 2wd M5OD. Im going to get the drive shafts done on monday, but im not sure what i need to do.

Can anyone with a 5 speed 4x4, 139in wheelbase truck tell me weather or not its a 1 or 2 piece drive shaft. And it would be even better with lengths and pictures. I beleive its a 2 piece but i cant figure out where the carrier bearing needs to go. And i kinda remember seeing a one piece once. But then agian, i dont think you can use the slip yoke on the t-case as the main slip for the shaft.

Iv been searching the web, and even looked trough my shop manual, but it doesnt give any insight into what models got what drive shafts, and because my truck is undrivable, and or other vehicles are being used, i cant run to the junk yard to look.

And help is greatly appreciated!

Bump!

im thinking im gonna keep the 2-piece. The rear will stay the same length as before, but the front will be shortened to 8in or so between u-joint and carrier bearing center..
