Drive shaft bearing

Anyone have a couple good pics of the stock drive shaft bearing and how it mounts to a ‘63 f85?
mine has a SBC conversion and one piece drive shaft that currently hits the floor under the rear seats when I hit bumps. So I’d like to explore going back to a two piece shaft for better clearance.

63 F85 carrier bearing

jensenracing77 is a member here. He was at least 2 threads here in the major builds section with numerous pictures of his restoation of these cars. He most likely has the parts you need also. I know that if you change your subject line to include 63 F85 you will receive a lot more answers. Good luck with your project

Thanks. I found a pic in one of his major build threads. Looks like now I need to try and find or make a crossmember for the bearing to mount to

On this original setup the slip yoke is in the center and not at the transmission.
