57 Center Bearing Housing Broke - HELP!

Yea, I stood on it and WHAM,, ka-plunkl ka-plunk, ka-lunk. Upon closer inspection, it appears the center bearing housing broke away from whatever supports it. Could not see any place where the center bearing housing connected too. It is still all there, just not supported, and no u-joint broke loose. The 57 shop manual gives you 60 pages on rebuilding the transmission but nothing on the center bearing operation.
Anyone have pictures or advice, I sure would appreciate it.
Guess I need to be gentle when putting 50 year old year old components under 400 lbs of torque.
