Your truck (a 4x4) has a transfer case - his might not.

If your saying the 2-piece is due to having a long wheel base. Why does my truck, which is longer than his, have the 1-piece as opposed to the 2-piece?

Measure the shaft length and then the shaft diameter should tell you your 1 pc shaft will be either shorter or fater than the 2 pc shaft bubbabud

Oh it's definitely fatter. My 08 4x4 XLT SCab 6.5 bed 4.6L has a steel 2-piece drive shaft and is way smaller diameter. I was just getting confused when y'all said the longer wheel bases will generally get the 2-piece, my transfer case tail shaft probably makes the difference though.
