all 350 diesel w126 had a 3 piece driveshaft.

while you have the driveshaft out check your U-joints for easy rotation and lube the splines before torquing back everything to a factory torque specs (at least one of the splines has to be moving while driving)

Good idea also judging by the crossover pipe you have an ASD diff.

May require a special fluid and is a nice option in snowy climate (not so much in AZ unless in flagstaff)
