Help, Trying to remove a driveshaft on a 1950 Chevy Deluxe

So just like the ***le says, Im going to remove the drive train (Original) on my 50 Chevy Deluxe and the driveshaft will be the first thing I remove and it just looks totally different than other cars that have the U-joint which I've worked with. Im sure there are tons of guys here that can help.

 

It's a closed driveline, aka "torque tube", the whole thing comes out with the rear axle as a unit. Most guys replace them with open drive rear ends and regular driveshafts when swapping in different engines or transmissions.

 

Ok but how do I separate the transmission from the driveshaft (torque tube)?

 

you pull the four bolts on the collar and slide it back. The u-joint will be underneath. Its been a while but I remember it was pretty straightforward. Heres the page from the manual. Cesar
